Tapering Guidelines
• Cut back on the caloric intake (you will be burning fewer calories than you were during heavy training)
• Cut back on outside activities (we'll rest at the pool, you rest yourself while away from it)
• Pay more attention to the "little things" (training intervals will be easier and you'll have a chance to "sharpen" while getting more rest)
• Conserve energy (you'll have excess energy that you've not had for months - don't waste it)
• Stay positive (both about your upcoming races and your teammates')
• Visualize races (take yourself through your races from before the start to after the finish)
Shaving Guidelines
• Allow plenty of time and take breaks while shaving for your championship meet
• Electric shavers and Nair are not used in this process
• Have plenty of new razors/blades available before you begin
• Start by using clippers on exposed body hair
• Carefully shave exposed body hair
• Be especially careful around shins, wrists, elbows, knees, forearms, and ankles
• Change blades/razors often
