Oscar Jimenez, Head of Partnerships at Beach Soccer Worldwide, said: “This second partnership with Bluewater shows our commitment to eliminate single-use plastics. The sand is our home, and the best way to protect it is to first not consume plastics. We work for a cleaner future, and Bluewater is helping us to achieve that goal.”

The multiplayer event is taking place in mid-October and sees players showcasing their talent and competing for the coveted championship titles. The tournament will demonstrate beach soccer's unique flair and dynamics, placing huge demands on athletes to stay hydrated and maintain performance in searing heat.

“Playing beach soccer in hot temperatures means proper hydration is crucial to maintain performance and prevent heat-related illnesses,” said Dave Noble, Bluewater Chief Communications Officer (CCO). He outlined some effective strategies for sportspeople to stay hydrated on the sand and avoid heat stroke:

• Start hydrating early: Start drinking fluids before the game or practice session. Aim to be well-hydrated before you even step foot on the beach.
• Drink water regularly: During play, drink water regularly, even if you don't feel excessively thirsty. Sip on water or sports drink every 15-20 minutes to replenish fluid loss through sweat.
• Monitor urine color: Keep an eye on the color of your urine as a general indicator of hydration levels. If your urine is light in color, you're likely adequately hydrated. Dark-colored urine may suggest dehydration and a need for more fluids.
• Optimal pre-game hydration: Consume water or a sports drink 2-3 hours before playing. This helps ensure your body starts in a hydrated state.
• Stay shaded and cool: Seek shade during breaks or substitutions to minimize exposure to direct sunlight.
• Be mindful that individual needs vary: Remember that individual hydration needs may differ based on body weight, sweat rate, and environmental conditions. Experiment and adjust your drinking routine to find what works best for you.
• Listen to your body: Pay attention to signs of dehydration, such as excessive thirst, dizziness, fatigue, or decreased performance. If you experience any of these symptoms, take a break, rehydrate, and rest in a cool, shaded area.

“Staying hydrated is essential for performance and overall well-being in hot temperatures. By following Bluewater guidelines and adapting them to your unique needs, you can optimize your hydration strategy and enjoy your beach soccer game to the fullest”, Noble said.
