]]>So you have made it all the way to Nationals! A big moment for any swimmer! It is like the crescendo of all the hours, sore muscles, early starts and sacrifices that every swimmer makes.
With all the excitement and built up pressure/ the travel to get there, here are a few tips to have a successful week of swimming from an ex swimmer who went multiple nationals and states in her day!
Regardless of whether you have one swim or a whole program of events, the best thing to remember is that no matter how you swim, good or bad, it is an accomplishment to even qualify. You have made it to an event with some of the fastest in the WHOLE of Australia! That means you are one of the fastest in Australia too!
It can be super nerve racking seeing unfamiliar faces in marshaling and getting into warm up or cool down on day one. I still remember feeling like I was diving into a war zone. Not to mention having passes and checkpoints to get onto the pool deck.
Best advice I can give is give yourself plenty of time to get changed, warm up, get suited up and get into marsheling.
There is nothing worse than feeling rushed on top of being nervous/excited so give yourself time to chill and get into your race zone.
Try to process each race as though it was your last. Swim it, learn from it & move on. Regardless of whether you thought the last race wasn't as good as what it should have been, there is no reason to let it affect the results of your next one. (I always liked to think of a first race as a warm up for the week of racing if i didn't do as well as what I would have loved. This gave me confidence to go into the next race without doubt.
Backing up from a morning swim to finals is mentally tough but you can make sure you prepare properly to come back fresh and ready to swim fast.

2. Drawing Pins
3. Coloured Paper
4. Photos of Friends at swimming
5. Print outs of your times and goal times
6. Optional (some past achievements ribbons or medals certificates)
First make some headings!
You can make it up any way you like you can make headings Past Present and Future to break the board up. Or you can do "Now" and "Goals" or just "Goals". Its up to you on how formal you want your board to be depending on the age of your swimmer.
Get your times - you can write down your times that you have now and put them in the the middle of your now/ present section. Then make up some times a bit lower then your current ones this could be PB's or maybe goal times for qualifying for a meet ( metros or state or a development meet) Put them in the goals section or Future.
You can then make a list of what you need to do to achieve those future goals. Bullet points work well You can cut them up and place them around you future/ goals section. Your commitments can be made up depending on what you think it will take to achieve your goals.
It might be turn up for training everyday, eating less junk food, not putting your feet on the bottom, working on your stroke correction or making a certain times in training in a set. Get creative!
Finally make sure you fill your past, present, and now section with your medals / certificates and ribbons you have to see the achievements you have already made and add some photos of your friends and family who will support you in achieving your goals.
Place your collage in your room so you can see it everyday and take a picture with your phone just in case you want to review it before a big swim or event.
Good Luck with your swimming!
]]>Box jumps are great to way to improve your explosiveness off the block. Try to improve your box jumps by going higher.
Chin ups can be a hard one to master, but they really target your upper body and back. You can change your grip and increase your rep count as you improve.
The rowing machine is great way to improve upper body strength and a swimmers throw and catch movement.
Have fun swimming.
]]>All day you swim up and down lanes but rarely put your body under gravity's pressure. Vertical kick can change all that. Essentially you should put your hands above your head streamlining, jumping up from the bottom and kick either freestyle or butterfly. Time yourself against the clock usually in 30 second intervals or make a competition with your friend on who can stay above the water for the longest.
A good way to give those shoulders a workout is for you to throw away your pool buoy, tie your feet together with a strap. Do some your favourite stroke. It might start off a bit easy but after a few laps you can feel the burn.
Want to feel like your pulling a lead weight, keep a sponge handy in your pool bag. Tie the sponge up with a rope and attach it to your back around your waist. As the sponge fills with water it will become a water weight. For maximum impact you can vary the size of the sponge.

1.Check the tags before buying.
I know its the last thing you think of when buying after style, colour, and fit, but the composition of your swimwear matters. Checking the tag to see what its made from can help you to understand whether its right for you. If it says nylon and lycra the chance of it lasting is slim, even with proper care. You should look for polyester and the more of it the better. polyester/lycra's will last longer than regular nylon/lycra but will still start to wear with regular use, finally polyester only fabric including PBT will give an extend period of use. So if you do some detective work you can choose swimwear that can last more than a season and ready for the next.
2.Rinse in warm water.
Rinsing your costume between uses can be a great way of extending the life of your costume. Showering after swimming is a great way to rinse it out. It dilutes the chlorine or salt in your swimwear so it doesn't dry in the costume and attack it. I'm sure you have gone to your cupboard to get the bikini top you wore last year only to find it with a see through patch where chlorine has eaten your suit. Rinsing can lessen these effects.
3.Try not to Wash it
Another misconception about swimwear is that you have to wash it between uses. Pools are generally full of chlorine and so your swimwear is well sanitised. Washing with harsh detergents and those with brighteners in them can start to bleach your swimwear. Swimwear also contains natural rubber. Being a natural product detergents can attack it and start to break down the rubber, the effect of constant wash can cause rubber to go gooey, or even brittle, so where possible limit washing.
4.Dry It the Shade.
It might sound like a simple task, but drying your swimwear in the shade can make all the difference. We have all seen it before, that shirt that had been on the line for too long and has a tidal fold over line. If you have a rack inside is best.

Its is necessary for all swimming pools to be chlorinated as it helps to minify bacteria and halts the growth of algae in the water. This means routine doses of chlorinated water will into contact with your girls garment and causing irreversible change to the material. Luckily these days there is now an array of girls chlorine resistant swimsuits to buy. Slix Australia has now developed a girls swimwear range in their own fabrics, named Stamina - To engage a superior level of chlorine resistance, which is a positive for any one who needs girls swimwear who swims in a pool. Look out for the Slix branded Stamina fabrics when choosing girls swimwear that is chlorine resistant.
Here are the great benefits in girls swimwear when using a chlorine resistant swimsuit, in particular if you are a frequent bather.
Longer Lasting
A range of girls swimmers which offers 100 percent resistance to chlorine can last up to six times long than a basic pair of girls swimwear. This can make a big difference, especially if you are an seasoned bather who has does typical training sessions.
Shape
When Exposed to chlorine it can eat into the fabric of a garment and slowly it will have an impact on the shape and make it a looser fit. Fortunately the fabric of chlorine resistant swimwear will have a higher arrangement of polyester which helps to fix its attributes. The Stamina textile from Slix Australia offers 100 percent chlorine resistant and has a four way elasticity to cater that the swimwear will hold and cater a advanced quality fit.
Colour
As chlorine is prevented from eating into the cloth, this means that the appearance of the girls swimwear will not drop. You can be positive that your girls garment will keep to appear great on the beach and in the water, instead of looking old and tired. All of Slix's girls swimwear chlorine resistant swimsuits will give some level of security against weakening.
Cost
Swimwear which provides 100 percent resistance to chlorine is only a little more costly than buying a standard swimsuit or a garment from your local department store. But be careful about buying a garment from a distributer who doesn't specialise in swimwear but produces inexpensive fashionable items as a component of their season ranges, because they rarely use long-lasting and tough wearing fabrics and can oft go transparent! You should look at the initial cost may be higher, but when investing in chlorine resistant swimwear, this can be counterbalanced out by the fact that your swimwear will last longer before it needs to be replaced. You should try to look at chlorine resistant swimsuits as an investment that will create you a endless period savings and long lasting fun in the pool!
