The Ups and Downs of Morning Practices<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a swimmer at the high school or college level, you\u2019ve had to attend a morning practice at some point in your career. But do morning practices actually help to enhance your swimming? There are certainly cases to be made in either direction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Upsides of Morning Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many swimmers, even if they hate waking up in the early hours of the morning, feel a sense of accomplishment after completing their morning workout.\u00a0<\/span>In order to succeed in life, you have to be willing to push yourself and do things that you sometimes don’t want to do. Waking up at 4:30-5 in the morning to attend swim practice can be one of them.<\/p>\n

Swimmers who attend morning practices wake up while the rest of the world is still snuggled up tight in bed. Being in the pool, in the place where you feel comfortable and confident, can feel amazing in those early few hours.<\/p>\n

Missing morning practice is often symbolic of a swimmer’s attitude toward swimming itself. If an athlete misses the occasional practice, it’s understandable. Even the most dedicated swimmers sometimes have to miss a practice or two. But a committed athlete will not pass up a valuable training opportunity to hone their skills simply because they don’t want to wake up. Instead, they’ll pull themselves out of bed and make their way to the pool for practice.<\/p>\n

Waking up early for morning practice helps a student-athlete develop better time management skills. For instance, an athlete who has to wake up at 5 in the morning to attend practice should not stay up until midnight watching videos on their phone or chatting with a friend. Instead, they should prepare everything they need for practice and go to bed at a reasonable time.<\/p>\n

Learning to manage time wisely can be a useful life skill both in and out of the pool.<\/p>\n

The Downsides of Morning Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cW<\/span>e are doing our swimmers a grave disservice by having too many morning practices, and by having those practices start too early. The impact of our enforced sleep deprivation may be extending into their school performance and their general health,\u201d Coach Rick Madge wrote in his online article Teens, Sleep Deprivation and Morning Swim Practices – Revisited<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Madge also goes on to point out that adolescent teens still need between 8-9 hours of sleep every night. Among other things, not getting enough sleep due to morning swim practices can become the cause of students performing poorly in school. Morning practices can be hard on students who are trying to balance out their study time with their practice schedule. Sometimes, it is easier for swimmers to just lay down and take a nap after morning practice when they should be working on homework.<\/p>\n

Performance in the water can also increase when swimmers get more rest. A well-rested athlete is likely to swim faster times than one who still feels exhausted from waking up at 5 in the morning.<\/p>\n

“Those early morning workouts can end up leaving an athlete in a perpetual state of exhaustion, where they are never able to give those complete efforts at practice and take longer than necessary to recover from hard work,” Olivier Poirier-Leroy wrote online in The Case For and Against Morning Practices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It can be difficult for student athletes to attend multiple practices a day and still have enough energy to continue swimming the rest of the week. A difficult morning workout does not always set the swimmer up for a good evening swim. In fact, it can even be detrimental when that swimmer does not have time to recover their energy.<\/p>\n

What is the Right Answer?<\/h3>\n

Well, there is no ‘right answer’ to whether a coach should implement morning workouts into their athletes’ schedules or not. Some athletes are able to work well with the early mornings, while others struggle quite a bit. When considering adding a morning practice, coaches should be considerate of their student-athletes’ busy schedules while also ensuring that those same athletes are getting a good workout.<\/p>\n

If you happen to be a swimmer that wakes up before the sun, look for the positives things you can get out of practicing that early and try to counter some of the negatives.<\/p>\n
