Abstract | Swimming provides considerable nutritional challenges in both the training and competition phases. Energy and carbohydrate needs can vary greatly between swimmers and across the various components of a week, macrocycle, annual program, swimming career. To achieve the best outcomes, swimmers need to learn the skills to vary their food intake accordingly, especially to provide nutritional support before, during, and after workouts. Competition nutrition requires a special eating plan to promote recovery between races; swimmers who race in multiple events face special logistical challenges. Although pool swimming does not provide a need or opportunity for intake during the event, open water swimming is an event in which fluid and carbohydrate intake can enhance performance. Some supplements and sports foods can be used by swimmers to achieve their nutritional goals and optimal performance. Many of the recommendations for swimmers are based on evidence gained from research on other sports with similar characteristics. |
