3 Benefits of Napping for Swimmers

by Courtney Bartholomew, Swimming World Intern

Naps may be one of my favorite things– outside of food, of course. Napping used to be an activity I would only do after a long Saturday morning practice, however, since beginning college, they have become a large part of my daily routine.

Ever since I started swimming, I have heard my parents and coaches discuss the benefits of napping for recovery and repair. However, I chose not to listen to this advice and missed out on many of the benefits of napping.

With naps now being incorporated into my daily routine, I have noticed changes in my swimming and daily activities. Personally, I am able to concentrate better in my classes and in the pool. I am able to swim at a higher intensity. Not only are naps a great way to improve concentration, but according to Dan McCarthy, Sports Performance Consultant for USA Swimming, “sleep is the time when the body recovers from the stresses loaded upon it, and the repair of muscle and connective tissue begins. Naps are an excellent tool for athletes in training and on game day as well.”
