Speedo is calling on swimmers everywhere to take their swim up a gear with Mind Body Swim, which is positioned as a complete guide to elevating fitness this year. Developed with a team of Speedo experts, Mind Body Swim ‘gives swimmers the knowledge and power to take their swim to the next level’.
Taking a holistic view of fitness, Speedo has developed a swim training plan complete with nutrition training plans and sleep guidance from Speedo’s experts to help improve your time in the pool by making simple changes to lifestyle, available at on.speedo.com.
Featuring four single swim workouts focusing on how to Improve Endurance, Tone Up, Improve Front Crawl Technique and Improve Overall Fitness, each workout has been designed for swimmers at all levels including foundation, beginner, intermediate and advanced.
Both specialists in their field, sports nutritionist Anita Bean and sleep guru Nick Littlehales have joined forces with Speedo to bring together their skills and experience to create easy to follow plans aimed at making swimmers fitter both physically and mentally.
Every workout comes complete with a nutritional plan, including a breakfast, lunch and dinner plan alongside snack recommendations to effectively fuel pre and post workout. Speedo has also created a series of bite-sized advice to educate swimmers on how to make small changes to their sleep routine, and how this can make them more efficient in the water.
Anita Bean, Speedo’s nutrition expert, said “A successful swim is not just about how many laps you can do, but the steps you take in your everyday life to ensure each and every swim is your best. A huge part of that is how you are fuelling your swim at each stage of the day. Using my nutrition expertise and 10 years of experience working with recreational and elite swimmers, I have teamed up with Speedo to create easy to make, nutritious and tasty recipes that will boost your energy and help you get the most out of your swimming.”
Nick Littlehales, Speedo’s sleep expert, said “Understanding your body’s natural rhythms and developing your own sleep routine will help you get the best out of your day. However, recovery is often overlooked as a performance factor. By offering advice to help you recognise your own sleep characteristics, and educating you on approachable, achievable changes to your swimming routine, you can make a positive difference to your performance, both in and out of the pool.”
On the back of the Mind Body Swim initiative, Speedo’s new range of body positioning swimwear has been created for every level of swimmer, designed to help swimmers maximise their efficiency in the pool. Speedo’s Speedo Fit range of Power Mesh, Power Form and HydroRaise suits each feature compression technology to help improve body position in the water.
New for 2018, Speedo has introduced Biofuse Flexiseal Goggles, which provide comfort with a flexible cushioned seal around the eye. The soft and flexible material used to in the seal provides a more comfortable and secure fit, whilst the rigid structure of the frame helps to give stability when worn.
Swimmers can track their swims and access even more information and advice at Speedo On, Speedo’s swim training platform.
