Yeah diet makes a big difference.
Cut down on foods high in fat. (i.e. fast food). Protein is good for building muscle for sprinters. Complex carbohydrates work for distance. Don't drink a lot of pop.
Swimmers should consume from 60-70% of daily calories in carb-rich foods.
Limit intake of fat to 15-20% of daily calories, or less than 80 grams. Recommended daily protein is 20-25% of total calories. Take vitamins A, C and E.
An Olympic diver has a very strict diet. They would be careful to eat healthy, nutritious food that provide enough protein and energy to sustain their intense training schedule as well as enough vitamins and minerals to aid in repair of muscles.
