At just 18 years old, Katie Grimes is not just a pool swimming sensation, but a dual-threat in the world of aquatics. She stands on the brink of becoming the first American woman to represent the USA in both pool and open water swimming at the Olympics. Her recent performances strongly suggest she will achieve this milestone.
Grimes has already secured her spot for Paris in open water swimming and is a strong medal contender. In the pool, she isn’t just competing, she’s excelling—already a silver medalist in the 400m individual medley at last year’s World Championships, but also ranking highly in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m freestyle events. She has already achieved an astonishing fourth place in the 1500m at the last Olympics at just 15 years of age.
The Path to Glory: It Started at Home
Katie’s incredible success started at home. Six years ago her parents, Christian and Shari, realized the critical importance of proper nutrition to complement Katie’s rigorous training. They acted, making a crucial decision that would pave the way for Katie’s continuing improvements and success.
Christian and Shari explain; “Success in the pool requires a solid diet and a nutritional supplement to bridge the gaps—before training, between meals, and before bedtime. We had already made significant changes to our family diet to meet the needs of our children’s rigorous swim training. We realized that we were still missing the mark, something was missing. After a long and thorough search we found P2Life. It was the answer and has made a huge impact. ”
Nutrition: The Overlooked Requirement for Sporting Excellence
Maximizing one’s overall health is critical as ONLY with maximum health can anyone achieve maximum performance.
Also critical to swimming success is the athlete’s “Power to weight ratio”. This is characterized by a very strong but a light and lean body. A superior power to weight ratio is now realized to be essential to success in swimming to overcome the strong negative effects of water resistance on speed and endurance.
P2Life, developed by swimmers for swimmers, focuses on optimizing overall health, and a swimmers “Power to Weight” ratio. The success of swimmers taking P2Life is clear for all to see.
