How much water do you need to drink during and before swimming training

At Proswimwear, we care about your health and safety while swimming. Did you know that a secret ingredient to make sure that your swimming is of the highest standard is water intake?

There are two reasons for this:

1. While you’re in the water our brains are getting tricked that we have plenty of fluids around us and therefore does not send a signal to our brains that we need to rehydrate. 
2. Secondly, while you're in the pool it is easy to forget about the fact that you are sweating and have to hydrate just like any other athlete.
