In this episode of Going Long, Beyond the Breakers founder Craig Lewin sits down with Jennifer Brunelli, registered sports dietician, seven-time All-American swimmer, and USC Hall of Famer who built one of the most respected sports nutrition practices in the country. Jennifer has worked with Carolina Panthers NFL players for seven seasons and NASCAR drivers and teams for over a decade. Now she is bringing that elite-level performance nutrition expertise directly to the open water swimming community at Beyond the Breakers 2026.
Jennifer breaks down why nutrition is not something you add to your training but rather the reason your training works at all, why training the gut is just as important as training the muscles, and why what works for a professional swimmer in their 20s will not work for an age group athlete with a job and a family. She also previews her live presentation at Beyond the Breakers 2026, which will include individualized sweat testing for attendees.
