I have been wanting to start a new diet so that I can get in better shape and so that I can get faster times. I have been looking into a good diet for swimmers that way I can still be eating a good amount of food but not be gaining weight. I will talk about it with Briana when we get together which will be tomorrow and I am going to look up all the good meals and snacks that we can substitute from our diets now. Then we will post all of the meals and snacks that we found that would be good and we will post them in the recipe section. Once we have everything on here that we will be doing we will make a chart and we will put our progress on the chart. I will try my hardest to convince Briana to come to the cardio room so that we can both loose weight and loose time.

Fast skin swimsuits are a good way of dropping time. It is not much time but if you really need a second off then it might help. If you are a younger swimmer and you have not ever had a fast skin before than I recommend getting one with no leg pieces. If you are a more advanced swimmer and you have had one the I recommend getting one of the fast skins with the leg pieces on the suit. I hope this helps all of the girls!
As for the boys I really don't know a whole lot about the best type of fast skins so I looked around on different websites and I found this one. Hope this helps you guys!

The Fastskin3 Racing System: A ground-breaking advancement in swim racing wear. Break records without breaking the rules.The Fastskin3 Racing System- suit, cap, and goggles - is a unique, full body approach to swim racing wear. Combined, the pieces create one incredibly hydrodynamic, comfortable, and stabilizing setup. Developed in Speedo®'s innovative Aqualab, Speedo has focused their efforts on developing a suit swimmers want to wear, not a just an expensive suit brands want swimmers to buy. Consultation with experts such as optical engineers, hydrodynamics experts, and swim coaches led to a whole-body (and mind) approach to the FS3 Swim System in which all three pieces of the system are engineered to work together, unlike traditional suits, caps, and goggles that stand alone.
The Fastskin3 swim cap was developed using 3D GCI head-scanning technology to produce a design that hugs the contours of the head, wrinkle-free. The cap is the first to feature an IQ fit profile, which reduces full body drag force by 3.4%. The cap also features a new "Hair Management System"; a separate bonded fabric cap, worn under the silicone racing cap, whose material fills the gap in the back of the neck to create a totally smooth, drag-free surface.
Fastskin 3 goggles feature a revolutionary new design and are unlike any racing goggle on the market. Their Divestream outer profile and IQ fit fill in the contours of the face, thereby eliminating the drag that traditional goggle designs generate. A 3D sealing strap ensures comfort and unparalleled fit. The wide angle lens offers 180 degrees of crystal clear peripheral vision.
The Fastskin3 suits feature zoned and graduated compression, offering stability and muscle support where needed, which then transitions to thinner, more flexible fabric around the joints. The suit's body stability web is a network of bonded seams and panels that offer incredibly precise support that helps swimmers maintain form and streamlined position at all times. Suits come in neck-to-knee styles for women, and a high-rise jammer for men.
Fit-point markers throughout the cap, goggles, and suit help swimmers adjust for the perfect alignment, yet another detail that helps athletes enter their race with confidence and peace of mind. Combined, the Fastskin3 Racing System components become one fluid tool that in turn helps athletes become one with the water. Michael Phelps, 8-time Olympic Gold medalist, says the suit makes him, "feel completely at one with the water." The Speedo Fastskin3 Racing System is approved by FINA and will tested by the best athletes in the world at the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games.

Whenever my friends and I go to a swim meet we like to draw things on our backs. One popular saying to put on your skin is "eat my bubbles". This is a very generic thing to say. For most people nobody eats their bubbles very often( unless you are in practice). Well other drawings or sayings you can put on there are " I bust mine to kick yours " or some silly things like that. You can also put a drawing of your team logo on your back. This is a good way to support your team. Always have fun and ask a parent when you are drawing on each other.

There are many different benefits that people can get from swimming. One reason swimming is so healthy is because you can do it your entire life. When you are in the water 90% of your body is buoyant. If you had done the exercise on land the impact would be a lot harder where as if you are doing the same thing just in the water you get mostly the same thing just lower impact. Swimming is also a good way to exercise while trying to recover from and accident or something like that. These are just some of the health benefits of swimming.

A good breaststroke technique for people who need a step by step. In this picture it shows her lifting up her head and looking up, try not to do that so much so look down when you breath. Also kicking is 80% of breaststroke so you really want to make sure that you have a strong kick and glide for about 1 second, especially when you are doing a long race, you might want to hold it longer in a long race. Or when practicing hold it for 3 seconds that way you can learn the method.
