New Practice Times and Location Summer League
"Thanks for your support!" |

Hays Swim Club, a USA Swimming Club, and its coaching staff provide a strong, competitive program for swimmers of all ages. A positive environment, team spirit, supportive parents, and team pride help create a strong family atmosphere which is building a winning tradition at Hays. The swimmers work out at both the McNaughton Pool facility in Plum Creek (weather permitting) and indoors at the Buda YMCA. Both facilities are 6 lane, 25 yard pools.

Fields' Tip:
Fueling up isn’t something that should happen the day before a big meet. It’s a season-long, if not year-round commitment to optimal performance.
A proper balance of protein and carbs is important.
Drink milk – two to three cups a day, four for teenage boys. You can substitute one ounce of quality protein like chicken or a half-ounce of turkey jerky, plus 300mg of calcium for every cup. Yogurt is okay, too.
Eat two servings of protein a day in the form of meat, fish or poultry. Each serving should be about the size of one deck of playing cards.
Recommended servings of fruits and vegetables have been bumped up to 2-4 servings of fruits and 3 to 5 servings of vegetables a day. Include baby carrots, tomatoes and celery. But don’t overdo the dressing.
“Complex carbs are needed a whole lot by swimmers,” Fields says. Get them from whole grains because you won’t find them in white bread and pasta. Eat at least three servings a day, and include oats and rye, not just whole wheat. The new white wheat is a way to introduce kids to whole grains, but it’s not nearly as nutritious as regular whole grain bread.
“Before a meet, put more emphasis on carbs, but not excessive carb loading like they used to do for a while,” Fields says. “The day of the meet have a good high-carb breakfast and keep fluids going throughout the day.”
Specialized sports drinks are good, but stay away from soft drinks and sugar-added fruit drinks.
Keep low-fat carbs and protein available during the meet – a turkey or chicken sandwich and low-fat mozzarella cheese sticks are good choices – and keep smoothies poolside. Etamame – soybeans – are a good source of protein. They come dried, salted and flavored.
