5 Tips to Help Swimmers Recover from Muscle Soreness
1. Moving your body. One of the biggest mistakes swimmers make is not moving when they are sore. Your body needs active recovery such as steady state cardio, dynamic warmups, and long cool-downs.
2. Hydration. Drinking water will help remove toxins and keep your body functioning at a high level.
3. Eating Enough Protein. Protein and amino acids help rebuild your muscle fibers. The recovery process will be slower without the correct nutrition.
4. Foam Rolling. Studies have shown that self-myofascial release can decrease muscle soreness when performed after strenuous exercise.
5. A Good Night's Sleep. One of the most powerful ways to recover is getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep. This is your body's natural recovery process. Sleep deprivation can lead to reduced muscle glycogen repletion and poor cognitive function.

All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
