Water or Squash for low level technique and endurance, using fingers on the side of the bottle to gauge how much you drink. High carbohydrate drinks for intense training, sprints, at competitions when you have a lot of back to back events. Also to take a snack approximately every 3hrs to maintain glycogen stores.
