Do you drink water during a swim workout? (Page 2)

Depends on how I am feeling, air and water temp, and workout.  And often whether I remember it

I don't quite get "I don't drink in a masters workout because I won't drink in a race and I train like I race."  Unless you are in open water, I get that, but swimming in a pool is not nearly training like you race (and shouldn't be....  you should be doing set...  in my opinion    )   Drinking water during a 1 hour 3K masters workout should not have any effect on your - my - ability to race a 1/2 hour HIM or 24 minute Oly (or even 60 minute IM) swim.  If you need water during a workout, intentionally depriving yourself doesn't seem like such a great idea to me.

Just my .02 on the topic.

(Currently, my swims are no shorter than 1hr.)  I do not drink while swimming.

I usually bring a water bottle with a 50/50 mix of Gatorade and water.  I'll take sips after long sets, particularly on hots days.

I'll also use the bottle as a practice sighting target, particularly as I get closer to races.

This made me smirk.  Juicy!

x2. I'm afraid to think about how much I really drink, because I have to pee a lot after I get out.

You could save yourself a trip to the bathroom if you just peed in the pool.

Always. The pool I frequent isn't exactly on the cool side though, so the habit might change in a more properly regulated pool.

I always have to pee a lot after my swim, no matter how much i drink. Must be osmosis.

Ahem. Notice the bold font and underlining. I planned ahead.
