Calling All Coogee 10km Open Water Swimmers!

Are you competing in the 10 km event at OWS Round 2: Coogee? Researchers from Monash University, Bond University, and the
Victorian Institute of Sport are investigating nutrition practices, hydration
status, and gastrointestinal symptoms and tolerance experienced by swimmers
during 10 km open water swimming events. Participation involves some brief
assessments before and after your race, including body composition and
hydration testing, gastrointestinal symptom, breath analysis, and finger-prick
blood sampling, plus simple food and fluid records. All participants will
receive a personalised body composition, nutrition, and hydration report. Help
advance scientific knowledge in open water swimming and gain valuable insights
into your own race preparation and performance. Contact Professor Ricardo Costa
