By Allison Peters, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

As the majority of swimmer\u2019s seasons are coming to a close, it\u2019s important to put the cherry on top of those grueling five months of training.<\/p>\n

Here are seven ways<\/strong> to prep for championships to insure you are in the best position going into your first race at the big dance.<\/p>\n

1. Get on a good sleep schedule.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At least two weeks prior to your championships you should start going to bed earlier. Going to bed at 2 a.m. every night and then the night before trying to fall asleep at 9 p.m. won\u2019t work and you may even wake up feeling more tired. Also make sure you\u2019re not sleeping until noon. If your meet will start at 9 a.m., try waking up around the time you’ll need to at the meet. This way, you\u2019re used to it and not yawning when the official says, \u201cTake your mark.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Watch what you eat.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gaining a couple pounds during taper isn\u2019t necessarily the end of the world, but try avoiding it at ALL costs. When we\u2019re in season, we tend to eat anything and everything that comes across our paths. Once the yardage starts to come down, it\u2019s important to skip that second dessert and try cutting down on carbs (pasta, bread). Stock up on protein instead (eggs, chicken, steak)!<\/p>\n

3. DON\u2019T do any strenuous activities.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important that your reserve as much energy as you possibly can. Avoid taking the stairs or walking around the mall. Especially avoid going sledding if you\u2019re hit with the next #blizzardof2015. Not a good time to get hurt!<\/p>\n

4. Be careful what you wear.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Stay bundled up in warm clothes! It would be devastating to get sick before championships (look at how sickness affected Katie Hoff during the 2012 Olympic trials).
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. DON’T jump into any new extracurricular activities.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve always wanted to join the biology club. The biology club has meetings every day after school and they give you a fun three hours of homework to do every night. Taper is NOT the time to join the biology club. Don\u2019t lose any more of your limited napping time.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Save up for your new tech suit.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"speedo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Skip buying that third Auntie Anne\u2019s pretzel and get ready to gear up! As we all know, tech suits are not cheap. A lot of college teams get discounts from brands when you buy suits in bulk! Talk to your coach and teammates and see what you guys can work out.<\/p>\n

7. Trust your training.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019re almost there! All the months of dryland training and morning practices are going to pay off soon. Listen to what your coaches tell you and trust all the hard work you\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
