This is a cool idea — there are definitely a lot of swimmers here who would appreciate good technique and race breakdown videos. I’ve learned a ton from YouTube channels that focus on specific strokes and pacing, so anything that helps break down drills or starts/turns would be great.
Also, if you ever do videos on training routines or how to manage long practice days, I think a lot of people here would find that super useful.

Swimming YT Channel HELP! -
swim meet results for Colorado State ChampionshipsThanks for posting this. Colorado State Championships always end up being a long couple of days, and having results in one place makes it much easier to follow how everyone did. I remember meets like this where some events were posted right away and others took a while, so it’s good to see updates coming in.
Also impressive depth this year — a lot of fast swims across multiple classes. You can really tell how much the level keeps rising season after season.
Appreciate everyone who’s helping keep the results organized here.

Best Electrolyte Packets for Hydration and Energy in 2025 | Expert ReviewHi everyone, I’ve been following this thread with great interest as a competitive swimmer, and I wanted to share my own experience with hydration and energy management over the past few months.
I train twice a day, six days a week, and last summer I started struggling with cramping and fatigue during long practices — especially in the afternoon sessions. I was drinking water constantly, but by the end of harder sets I still felt drained and had slow recovery between sessions.
Around three months ago I decided to try adding an electrolyte supplement to my routine after a teammate recommended it. I chose Nutra Harmony Electrolyte Tablets because the formula focused on the key electrolytes that swimmers lose in sweat (sodium, potassium, magnesium) and they were easy to take before and after practices. You can check them out here: https://nutra-harmony.com/products/electrolyte-tablets
What I noticed over time was:
Better hydration during long practices — I wasn’t feeling that “empty” tired feeling halfway through sets
Fewer muscle cramps during and after workouts
Improved recovery between morning and afternoon sessions, so I felt fresher for the second session
I usually dissolve a tablet in about 16–20 oz of water and sip throughout the workout. On longer or tougher days I drink another serving afterward.
Of course, everyone’s body is different, but for me this was a simple addition that actually made a measurable difference in how I felt and performed week to week. Happy to answer any questions about how I use them!
