Good luck to all the Scottish teams and swimmers competing at the National County Championships in Sheffield on Sunday! 🏊🏻‍♂️🏊🏼🏆

3 games in and Dominik #Szoboszlai already has assist of the season and goal of the season - #legend! 😀

His first move was radical but necessary: He slashed government ministries from 18 to 9 (now 8). Then systematically removed 50,000 government employees. The establishment called him "El Loco" - The Madman. But there was method to his madness:

Head Swim Coach @cogst - great opportunity for an experienced and successful coach to come in and lead this programme - https://t.co/rFgNQ56FKT

This man has zero credibility, we are truly doomed. 😢

Good luck to all the Scottish universities and Scottish swimmers taking in part in the @BUCSsport Short Course Champs this weekend! Early heats are already underway and can be watched live here 👉 https://t.co/gjRisR8KnQ Event information 👉

Good luck to the 3 Scottish teams taking part in today’s @GoCardless Swim England National County Team Championships! #CountyTeamChamps #ScotlandNorth #ScotlandEast #ScotlandWest

A talent ID strategy that works... Keep as many athletes in the sport, as long as possible. If you increase the number of athletes participating, you likely increase the number at the top end of the bell curve 👇

Good luck to all the Scottish swimmers and teams heading to @BUCSsport Swim Champs in Sheffield this weekend! @ScottishSwim

12/12 Overall, altitude training can be a valuable tool for swimmers and coaches looking to improve training or race performance. Remember to always consult with a coach and health professional before starting though.

11/12 It's important to recognise that altitude training is not suitable for everyone, always consider any pre-existing health conditions before starting this type of programme. Additionally, some athletes seem to respond better to such altitude training loads than others.

10/12 Much research recommends athletes spend a minimum of 21 days at altitude and do so several times per year in order to optimise the potential gains. The given altitude should typically be between 1500-2500m.

9/12 Altitude training can be done in several ways, including living at high altitude or training in a high-altitude facility, but it's important to consult with a coach and doctor before starting any such programme.

8/12 Many swimmers who have undergone altitude training have reported significant improvements in performance, including faster training and race times as well as improved stamina.

7/12 Furthermore, altitude training has been shown to improve overall recovery time by increasing blood flow, reducing muscle soreness, and promoting muscle repair.

6/12 Altitude training also increases the body's lactate threshold, allowing swimmers to maintain a faster pace for longer periods of time.

5/12 Additionally, training at high altitudes has been shown to increase the body's production of growth hormone, which can lead to an increase in muscle mass and strength.

4/12 Altitude training also improves the body's ability to use fat as a fuel source, which can help to delay the onset of fatigue during long-distance swimming events.

3/12 Altitude training has been shown to increase the body's production of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells, which helps to increase oxygen delivery to the muscles, resulting in improved endurance and performance.

2/12 Altitude training has been shown to improve overall performance and base endurance. When training at high altitudes, the body must work harder to get the same amount of oxygen, leading to an increase in the number of red blood cells and oxygen-carrying capacity.
