Swimmers should shower with mild soap after swimming to remove pool chemicals such as chlorine. Swimmers should use goggles to protect the eyes from pool water and improve underwater vision.

MICHAEL PHELPS DIET
Michael Phelps, who won 8 gold medals in the 2008 Summer Olympics eats roughly 12,000 calories a day. Phelps eats about 4,000 calories every time he sits down to for a meal. This comes from all the carbohydrate, protein and fat that a person eats. Phelps consume this many calories in a day, because he needs all the calories in order to keep his energy levels high for the 17 times he will swim over the next 9 days of the Olympic Games.
Phelps wakes up at 5 a.m. and starts his day off with a huge breakfast. Phelps breakfast menu consists of three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onions, and mayonnaise on white bread, a 5-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast with powdered sugar, three chocolate-chip pancakes and two cups of coffee.
When lunch time comes around, Phelps loads up on a pound of pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. He also takes this opportunity to washing his lunch down with about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
Before the competition begins, Phelps sits down for dinner of another pound of pasta and an entire pizza. He once again takes this opportunity to wash his dinner down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
Even when Phelps is not competing, he still needs all the energy he can get with his rigorous five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week workout regimen.

STROKES
Butterfly Butterfly (fly) is a stroke in which the swimmer brings both hands over their head close to the water, breathing forward, "Dolphin kicking" (undulating) with both feet together in sequence, two kicks per arm stroke. All walls must be touched with two hands at the same time and the swimmer will be disqualified if his/her arms do not clear the water at the same time.
Backstroke Backstroke
is a stroke which is similar to the front crawl, except on your back. Kicking by alternating both feet, pulling each arm one at a time, and looking straight up. At walls, flip turns are permitted(the swimmer is to turn on to his/her front before performing the turn), and a two-hand touch is not necessary.
Breaststroke Breaststroke
is a stroke where the swimmer kicks legs out (much like a frog, but more whip like, it is importatant to keep the kick narrorw), scoops the water in towards the chest with his or her hands and then thrusts the hands out in front just before the kick is repeated. One underwater "pull-out" is permitted for the start and after every wall, with, in order: streamline glide, one fully extended pull, one dolphin kick (must be timed precisely with pull), one breaststroke kick, and all while not breathing. Each wall requires a two-hand (simultaneous) touch. After the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, thanks to Kosuke Kitajima, there was an adjustment made to the underwater "pull-out". The new rule states that you can also do a single downward dolphin kick (upward is not permitted). Kosuke Kitajima was the first breaststroke swimmer to perform such "pull-out".
Freestyle Freestyle
is a not a defined stroke as the others are. However, as swimmers are free to choose any stroke they wish, most select the Front Crawl, as it is both the fastest and most efficient. The front crawl is a stroke where the swimmer breathes to the side, kicks by alternating both legs, and pulls with each arm at different times. Flip/ tumble turns are legal. Many meets also include free relays, in which four team members each swim an equal distance of freestyle; when one member touches the wall, the next can dive off the block.
IM
IM stands for individual medley, and includes, in this order: fly, back, breast, free. Open turns are required in the switch from one stroke to another, but flip turns can be made during back and free. Each stroke must be completed before moving on to the next stroke. 25:100 is the ratio for the amount swam for each stroke. 25 meters stroke to each 100 total.
medley relays
in which four team members each swim one stroke, in the order of back, breast, fly, free. Other IM events are a 200, and 400 which is the same except that in a 200 it is 1 length (in long course) or 2 lengths (in short course) of each stroke and 400 is 2 lengths (in long course) or 4 lengths (in short course) of each stroke. In the 200 and 400 IM flip turns are allowed off the wall in backstroke to backstroke and freestyle to freestyle.Open-turn An open-turn is a touch and go turn. Fly and breast must touch with two hands, but can push off with one.Flipturn or " tumble turn" In a flipturn, the swimmer swims to the wall, tucks, flips, and pushes off. This is only legal in back and free. A backwards flip (bucket turn) is also allowed between Backstroke and Breaststroke in the Individual Medley.In this turn, the swimmer must touch the wall on their back and come out on their front.
