For some people, Christmas is a special day of the year to share with family and friends to enjoy great food and embrace the spirit of giving. For swimmers, it can have extra special meaning especially after a hard year of racing and training. Here’s 5 reasons why:
1 – A Day Off
It’s the one gift that a coach can’t take away from a swimmer. The pool is closed and there’s no guilty feeling for sleeping in and getting set for a day of celebration without a second thought about heading off to training. You know coach is planning to make up for it with twice the pain to work off the Christmas pudding but that’s tomorrow and they can’t take away your special day of rest.
2 – The Food
Swimmers love to eat and Christmas is the perfect time to show the family that you’re not only the best in the water but also at the dinner table. Whether you’re a distance or a sprint swimmer all swimmers are endurance athletes at Christmas dinner. You’ll outperform any uncle when the turkey and ham are served and you’ll be the only one asking for thirds of the pudding with custard and cream.
3 – The Presents
Most of the family have given up finding something new and exciting to buy you and they know you’re always in swimwear, so what could be more appropriate to have wrapped up under the tree. To make it a real surprise it could be a pair of Funky Trunks or Funkita from the Aussie brands to give you colour and comfort in the pool.
4 – The Nap
A swimmer isn’t afraid to have an afternoon nap every now and then but Christmas Day is the one day when everyone else is unashamed to join in. Take advantage of the chance to bond with grandpa as you both drift into a blissful food coma.
5 – The Leftovers
When Christmas Day is done and you’re heading home with the warmth from a special day shared with loved ones, you can also cherish the warmth of the leftover turkey. Because a turkey sandwich is the perfect pick-me-up when you’re back in the pool working off your Christmas Day indulgence.
