You want the best for your swimmer.
Between early mornings, late practices, and weekend meets, nutrition starts to feel like a puzzle with missing pieces.
What goes in the meet bag. When should they eat before warmup. Which snacks actually help.
You do not need another internet deep dive. You need clear, swimmer-specific guidance that fits real life.
That is why Eat Swim Win exists.

Meet Katie Schimmelpfenning, RD
I am a registered dietitian, former Division I swimmer, and longtime swim coach.
I have stood on cold pool decks at 5 a.m., packed too many coolers to count, and watched how the right fuel changes confidence and performance.
My work brings practical sports nutrition to the people who make the biggest difference at home.
Parents.
You will find my advice in outlets like Women’s Health, Prevention, EatingWell, Everyday Health, and Food Network.
More important, you will find it working in real families where time is tight and goals are big.
Why I focus on parents
After years of clinics, 1:1 work, and team talks, a pattern kept showing up.
The swimmers who trained hard, recovered well, and kept improving had a simple advantage.
Someone at home understood how to fuel them.
When parents know what to do, swimmers show up ready to go, season after season.
What you can expect here
I teach a simple framework that you can use tonight and keep using all season.
Meet-day checklists that take the guesswork out of long weekends. No rigid rules. No counting. Just clear steps that fit busy family life.

What you can expect here
I teach a simple framework that you can use tonight and keep using all season.
Enough fuel. Right timing. Easy swaps for picky eaters. Meet-day checklists that take the guesswork out of long weekends.
No rigid rules. No counting. Just clear steps that fit busy family life.
My approach in three steps
One of my favorite moments is a meet warmup where a swimmer turns and says, “I felt good the whole set.”
Nothing flashy. Just steady energy, clean strokes, and a calm head.
That is what good fueling gives you. It is not about a perfect menu. It is about the right food, at the right time, and a plan that your family can keep.
Step 1
Clarity
Cut through the noise. Get a simple fueling framework tied to training and growth.
Step 2
Simple systems
Snack lists, meet-day checklists, travel tips, and time-saving grocery ideas.
Step 3
Swim-ready results
More energy in practice. Faster recovery. Stronger race-day confidence.
