Surely many of you suffer muscle ramps at some point during a swim or an intensive training. But do you know the reason why it happens to you?
During the sports practice, our muscles shrink and relax to be able to swim. At the time of contraction there is no problem, but ... what happens when the muscle relaxes? For the muscle to relax it needs electrolytes or minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium ... If you do not have enough of them to reach relaxation, the ramp occurs.
So the ramp is the inability of the muscle to reach muscle relaxation due to a lack of minerals or electrolytes in the blood ,either because we have not ingested enough of them or because we have made a sustained effort and we have consumed the reserve we had.
What if I have a ramp? What do I do? The easiest way to proceed is to strech muscles affected very carefully. Then apply massage and very soft stretches to fully recover.
And most importantly, how can I prevent it? With ingestion of minerals in the diet and isotonic drinks. If they still persist or do not improve with immediate stretching, it is important to see a doctor.

On Monday, July 17th, one of our swimming coaches, Marian Garcia Aguado "Bombom", provided some tips for open water swimming. Marian was a water polo from a young age, since she became an open water swimmer as a grown-up. Marian told us how to train open water swimming from her own experience.
Marian tips' summarized:
1- Sensations. You train to swim in the sea, so you have to train at the sea, without leaving the pool.
2- Dry-land training. It is very important to combine swimming training with two or three weekly dry-land workouts. She recommends doing them before entering the water, but every person is a completely different world.
3- Technique. Train the technique to the pool. It will help you improve the body's position on the water and therefore slide more, and as a result you will go faster.
4- Feeding. Try the bars / gels / isotonic drinks during training to see if you tolerate them well. During the crossings is not time to try new things!
5- Loads. Quality above quantity! If you train for a 10K, for example, you do not need to add 20KM per week. What you should do instead is a load of 15KM or 16KM with dry-land sessions. You do not have to go crazy with the loads!
In September the club activities will be resumed! We are waiting for you!

Safety is a basic tenet in Neda el Món, that is why we have decided to add the Safe Sea cream to our online store. Safe Sea contains unique and patented ingredients that protect against jellyfish stings in several ways:
-
Its slippery texture makes it difficult for the stinging tentacles to get a grip.
-
Chemical (stoppers) in the lotion block up the sites where the stinging process is activated.
-
Other inhibitors (stoppers) block the chemical pathway.
-
Chemical stoppers reduce pressure in the stinging cells, preventing the jellyfish from firing its stings.
Safe Sea prevents the stimulation of jellyfish tentacles after contact with the human skin.
Other features:
-
UVB / UVA Protection. Safe Sea contains physical, chemical and biological filters which reduce the effects of solar radiation on the skin.
-
Very water resistant. Clinical trials have proven that Safe Sea is very water resistant, enduring up to 80 minutes of aquatic activities. In case of minimum contact with water, Safe Sea's protection is prolonged.
-
Preservative-free. Safe Sea’s formula is sterile, so there’s no need for toxic preservatives such as parabens.
-
Water-in-Oil emulsion. Safe Sea’s Water-in-Oil emulsion gives the skin an excellent feel and keeps it hydrated.
-
Contains vitamins B and E. Vitamins B and E, which are present in Safe Sea, are important antioxidants for the human body.
-
With Bioplasma, GAG and Glycoproteins. Safe Sea’s formula contains Bioplasma-FA, the plankton extract with patented sting inhibitors. Together with GAG and glycoproteins, they improve the skin’s hydration and have anti-aging and anti-stress properties.
Available in two different formats in our online store.

There are tons of crazy athletes out there, but the swims of some swimmers are quite terrifying, not just because of the distance traveled and the hours (or days!) that have spent swimming, but because of the deadly dangers of the areas where they swim. From sharks to the dreaded Portuguese caravel, not to mention piranhas, crocodiles and the bacteria you can find around Manhattan Island in New York. And let’s not forget about hypothermia, vomiting and dizziness...
Here's an article by Red Bull about epic girls!
At Neda El Món, for the time being, we will keep swimming in throughout the Catalan and Spanish coast...!

Trainning for a long distance open water swim (that is crossings of more than 10 kilometers) involves a great deal of physical and mental preparation. The crossings of the Straits of Gibraltar, for example, or the Medes-Formigues, require careful planning at a physical level (yardage, compensatory exercises, rest, acclimatization to water ...) but also at a mental level (if the brain disconnects, the muscles will fall apart, too).
For this reason, when we organize "marathon" swims, we prepare our swimmers and provide them with online and face-to-face training to track their performance and advise them on how to improve aspects that worry them. For both the 22KM crossing, Medes-Formigues, and the crossing of the Straits of Gibraltar (16KM), we have a specific training program for the swimmers involved so that they achieve their goals. In fact, most swimmers who participate in these two crossings with us finish them successfully.
This Saturday, July 8th, the groups that participate in the swims mentioned above will participate in the 16KM training that unites El Masnou and Badalona. So from here we wish them ALL THE BEST!

Before we start talking about how to make your son or daughter fall in love with open water swimming we must clarity that the main goal of participating in such events should be having fun! In all of our crossings we include a Kids Open Water Crossing so that from an early age they learn to love the sea and find enjoyment in swimming in an open water environment.
In that regards, the Medes Junior is the kids version of the non-competive Neda El Món crossings. It is a leisure and free activity set up to promote open waters from a young age. In this year's event, every kid will be able to register for one of the crossings of 50m, 100m and 200m. And as it happened in Swim Barcelona, if parents want to join their kids while they swim, they can do so.
Please, feel free to can register the little swimmers here.
