Be Prepared for the Weather
The forecast is looking cold and windy, so staying warm between races will be critical. Every swimmer should have their deck coat, tracksuit pants, beanie and warm footwear on whenever they are not racing. Looking after your body temperature is just as important as your warm-up.
