| Dietary Suppliments |
 |
As a swimmer or swimming parent, you may or may not know that the use of dietary supplements among athletes is on the rise and that the regulation of dietary supplements in the United States is currently very loose.
Therefore, the use of some dietary supplements by some athletes can present a real danger, physical and/or emotional. Since your child is likely to be faced with the opportunity to take supplements at some point in his/her athletic career, it is important to educate him/her on the issues (s)he may face and to encourage him/her to think critically about the decisions (s)he may have to make.
Presenting information to your child can be a learning experience for both of you and an opportunity to open the channels of communication on a very important topic.
