Is it dangerous to drink an energy drink before swimming?

I'm wondering if it's especially dangerous to your heart to have one of those energy rocket shots before swimming in icy cold water (less than 60 degrees)? I have to pass a rigerous swim test in very cold water and was wondering if that would improve my stamina. Thanks.

Im not really sure.It could be dangerous in some ways but then again it could be harmless!Good Luck!
Reply:YES, it is very dangerous in actuality. Just drinking that **** is, alone. These energy boosters, like caffeine, give you a short high and the come down makes you even more tired. Your heart can only take so much jolting. Avoid them. Water is all you need. To improve stamina, stay away from anything not natural..... They are bad !!!
Reply:Hi leaner. I wouldn't suggest it. The shock of the cold water will give you an adrenalin rush and caffeine to boot doesn't sound good. If you have a couple hours before, then I would think that it would be OK for a cup of coffee or tea. Those sports drinks have alot more caffeine that might shock your system when you hit that cold water.
Reply:I am not very sure but i am sure it would be dangerous but like i said i am not sure but the is a very good question!!!!





Good luck!!!
