“Oh naur Cleo, don’t forget to hydrate!” 💧Your Gold Coast mermaid besties are here to remind you that if you want to perform at your best at Nationals Athletics, just drink water 🧜‍♀️

Here are some tips to help your hydration game plan 👇
1️⃣ Pre-event: Start sipping water 2–4 hours before competing
2️⃣ During event: Drink small amounts regularly—don’t wait until you’re thirsty
3️⃣ Post-event: Aim to replace every 1kg lost in sweat with 1.5L of fluid, and watch for signs of dehydration (dry mouth, fatigue, muscle cramps, and dizziness)

🔥 HOT TIP: For sessions over 60 minutes, add electrolytes to your hydration intake. Electrolytes help your body balance fluids and support nerve, muscle, and heart function.

Stay ahead of thirst and give your body the best chance to perform ☀️🥇

Would you risk a podium finish for one hit? That’s all it can take to impact your performance when you choose to vape 💨

As we round the track into UniSport Nationals Athletics, here’s your yearly reminder: vapes aren’t just harmless fruity-flavoured water vapour. They can contain nicotine, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals that may impact your lungs, endurance, and recovery.

Some products may even contain banned substances that could put you at risk of a failed drug test!
