Here are a few tips from our experiences as a 5 person relay team at the 2Swim4Life 24hr Swim.
2Swim4Life – Part 1
Over the Easter weekend I took part in the 2Swim4Life 24hr swim at Guilford Lido in a team of 5 awesome swimmers. This is a special swimming event which involves swimming 1 mile every hour, on the hour for 24hrs. It takes place in an outdoor pool which is heated and 50metres long.
What is the point of a cool down and what should I do in one?
What is the purpose of a cool down and why do one? The main purpose of a cool down is to bring your breathing, body temperature and heart rate back to normal slowly.

It also helps to flush out any lactic acid that has built up during a hard workout.
