Not everyone can possess the title of swimming wizard, but Michael Andrew has definitely earned it. More than panache and prowess, Andrew’s claim to the title stems from his mind-blowing versatility in the pool. Holding vigilance at the TYR Pro Swim Series since last week, the ace athlete produced a masterclass on his chosen vocation. Now, he is ready to extend his tutelage to include more facets of the curriculum.

Michael Andrew’s TYR Pro Swim Series campaign underwent a sudden transformation on the fourth day of the tournament. Despite clean strokes on Days 2 and 3, he could not keep pace with Nic Fink and Shaine Casas, respectively. However, he recovered his mojo in the 50m freestyle and soon after revealed the secret of this remarkable turnaround.

Michael Andrew shared a reel on his IG page from the TYR Pro Swim Series poolside. The energetic reel pulsated with rhythm which coursed through the swimmer as he stretched and warmed up.

Interestingly, Andrew’s warm-up was in sync with the upbeat background music. He was listening to the music on a pair of earphones and locked and popped to it. Suddenly, he bent and pulled out a small H.V.M.N vial from his backpack. Opening the lid, he poured the Ketone-IQ liquid into his mouth and gulped it down with pleasure.

In the next frame, the swimming wizard took off his hooded jacket to reveal his uniform for the day. It was a pair of skin-tight navy blue shorts but all eyes were drawn to the Olympic rings tattooed on the side of his torso.

The fans were eager to know more about the accoutrements that helped Michael Andrew earn back his dominance. His caption to the reel held the answer to their questions that said, “Get ready with me, race day edition @hvmn @rxsmartgear @tyrsport”. The liquid he drank was a formula from H.V.M.N. which is packed with Ketone-IQ and can boost energy. Additionally, the Rx Smart Gear he used was innovative and reduced the action of friction on him.
