What inspired me wasn’t just my own realization—it was seeing the same struggle in the swimmers around me. When I was in 8th grade, a coach finally helped me understand that my fatigue, poor focus, and slow recovery were signs of dehydration. Once I made the change, I felt stronger, sharper, more capable. But as I paid more attention, I started noticing how many of my teammates were facing the same challenges without understanding why. They’d push through exhaustion or complain about fatigue without realizing that hydration could be the missing piece. That’s when it clicked: this isn’t just a personal issue, but rather a widespread problem fueled by a lack of awareness. We’re taught about training, diet, and technique, but not nearly enough about how crucial hydration is to all of it. I wanted to change that. This platform was born out of a desire to share what I wish I had known earlier, and to help others take better care of their bodies and minds from the inside out.
