Food and Nutrition
As we start a new season and many of you return from your summer holidays and well deserved rests, it is a perfect time to consider and reflect on all aspects of your training. One of the most important things to get right is maintaining a healthy diet that allows you as swimmers to perform to the best of your capabilities both in training and at competitions.
Below are 3 very useful documents produced by British Swimming on how to eat well for training days, rest days and competition days. The documents provide some good guidance and tips especially for those eating well on long competition days.

- 20 Apr 2024Safe Travels
Tomorrow, we say Bon Voyage and good luck to Caitlin Chance as she leaves us to volunteer in Tanzania for a month, before travelling and then off to Cardiff University.
Caitlin has been a member of RSC for many years as a competitive swimmer. At the end of lockdown became a qualified teacher and has been dedicated to the Learn to Swim Program here at RSC. Caitlin is loved by all those that she has trained and competed with and especially those who she has taught. She will be very much missed by all of the team.
We wish Caitlin the very best and look forward to hearing about her adventures. - 04 Mar 2024Success at World Masters Competition
Last week, Paul Wilkes ( our Club Captain ) returned from the World Masters Championships in Doha. He was competing in the Butterfly events. On his birthday, he raced in the 100 fly, where he finished in a fantastic 5th place with a time of 58.44s. Later on in the competition, he competed in the 200 fly event where he won a silver medal with a time of 2:10.28. Both of his swims also won him new British Records in these events in his age group.
