Q: Do you focus on protein intake during the swim season?
A: "Yes, I do. Prioritizing the right amount of protein is essential for repairing and growing muscle, which leads to improvement in the water. I try to aim for around 130 g [of protein] a day, and most of it is from whole foods like eggs, chicken, and dairy products. I do intake a lot of processed protein in the form of shakes and bars, but I try to keep it more whole when I can. It's not just protein, but also carb and sodium intake that are very important to focus on during the swim season."
