Plan routines anchored on data
Map the pre-meet timeline — wake-up, nutrition, activation, warm-up — and attach pacing or heart-rate targets to each block. Swimmers walk in knowing what “ready” feels like instead of guessing.
Check readiness with quick signals
Use short questionnaires or wearable data to spot travel fatigue, hydration gaps, or mental stress. Adjust warm-ups or event strategy before the athlete hits the blocks.
Review benchmarks moments before racing
Show key splits, breathing cues, and goal metrics on a simple card or phone screen. Reminding swimmers of the plan keeps the focus on execution, not nerves.
Conclusion
Race-day calm is built upstream. Analytics make routines intentional so athletes trust every step to the blocks.
