The swimmer appetite is legendary.
It’s a byproduct of the hours and hours that we devote to swimming around the black line and for some swimmers, especially you distance folks, eating is largely a part-time job.
While eating lots of food is something we are known for (besides having the sought-after swimmers body, of course), that doesn’t mean that most of us eat as good as we can. We use those 8,000-meter swim workouts as an excuse to plow through a large pizza in one sitting after practice.
