Check out Coach Mike's latest article: Dietary Disaster - The 5 Most Common Nutritional Mistakes By Young Athletes

He also has added some interesting things on his website www.basesportsconditioning.com. There's an exciting announcement in the News section that you'll want to read. And there's a great article from the Boston Globe on the alarming rise in injury rates among young athletes. Look for the "What's new at B.A.S.E." column at the lower right of his home page.


Coach Mike put together a nutritional guide that should be helpful for those swimmers who are going to meets.

Attention Swimmers

PLEASE NOTE:

The older Fastskin II swimsuits with Turbulence Management System vortex controllers on the chest are not legal for competition unless the dots are peeled off. If you swim at a meet wearing this suit without the dots peeled off you will be disqualified. (Note: The newer Fastskin II swimsuits do not have the dots.)

From the New USA Swimming Competitive Swimming Swimsuit Rules:

  1. Swimsuits for men may not extend above the navel or below the knee and for women may not cover the neck, or extend past the shoulders or below the knee;
  2. Material used for swimsuits can be only textile material which is defined as materials consisting of natural and/or synthetic, individual and non-consolidated yarns used to constitute a fabric by weaving, knitting, and/or braiding. Simply put, this would generally refer to suits made only from nylon or Lycra that do not have any rubberized material such as polyurethane or neoprene; and
  3. No zippers or other fastening devices are allowed except for a waist tie on a brief or jammer.
