Energy drink b4 swimming?

Question

would it make me have more energy so i can go faster if i drink like a red bull before swimming in a race at a swim meat or would it make my stomach feel bad????????????

Answer 1

i love red bull, but i dont recommend energy drinks, they last less than you'd expect and then you feel reallly tired. just dont load up on sugar, its always bad

Answer 2

no... especcailly not red bull...if u must have something to drink drink a G2 (less sugar) or eat an energy gel  u don't want something high in calories. if u need to eat during a meet eat fruit which gives u fast energy. before a meet eat carbohydrates like pasta or bagels, those provide u with loger lasting energy

Answer 3

I drink diet Mountain Dew Code Red Before and after swimming. It doesn't make me jittery, or have an after crash, but it does give me more energy.

Answer 4

it might, cause lots of sugar can make you dehydrated when you swim. but if you take it at the right time it will give you a boost of energy. I took one at the right time once while playing ddr and i was playing nonstop, but then there was another time where I took it at the wrong time and it made me tired. It just depends.

but I don't suggest it - eat something healthy with lots of carbs.

Answer 5

it definetly might weigh you down since the sugars it has are harder to break down as opposed to something you'd get from a fruit but I never really would drink an entire bottle of ANYTHING during a meet you kind of feel it stirring in your stomach when you're swimming, maybe a swig of water or gatorade is okay, something our coach used to do was give us a bit of mouthwash it gives you a rush and if you lose it wont taste as bitter.
