ACCREDITED CLINICAL NUTRITIONIST, SPORTS NUTRITIONIST: EASTERN SUBURBS, SYDNEY
Your peak swimming performance is only possible with precision sports nutrition—guided by an expert swimming nutritionist in Sydney. This is where science meets strategy to fuel your body for elite swimming performance.
Are you — or your teenager — feeling flat during swim training, struggling to finish sets, or fading halfway through competition? Are your muscles tight, sore, and slow to recover between sessions? Is fatigue creeping in too early, strength and power stagnating, and energy levels crashing — leaving your body breaking down instead of building up? These are signs of underfuelling, and they’re holding you back from swimming at your best.
I understand how frustrating it is when your performance doesn’t reflect your potential. The missing link is your nutrition. When we get it right, you’ll recover faster, swim stronger, and perform with consistency and confidence.
As a swimming nutritionist in Sydney, I work with junior swimmers, competitive teens, and aspiring athletes to break this cycle. Using swim-specific, evidence-based nutrition strategies, I’ll help you fuel your training, build lean muscle, enhance recovery, and unlock your full performance capacity in the water.
I also support elite athletes competing internationally to fine-tune every aspect of their nutrition for peak output. The same protocols I use with them are available to you—designed to elevate your energy, recovery, and results, so your talent is matched by your performance.
This is not your standard sports nutrition consultation with a sports nutritionist or sports dietitian. This is a detailed, evidence-based consultation designed for swimmers who are serious about achieving optimal performance using meticulously formulated sports nutrition plans.
First 45 Minutes – Comprehensive Swimming Nutrition & Performance Assessment: We begin with a full-spectrum clinical analysis of your current nutrition and swim performance. I assess your macronutrient ratios, micronutrient intake, hydration status, and supplement use to determine how effectively your body is being fuelled across swim training, race days, and recovery windows. This includes evaluating the timing, quality, and quantity of your meals in relation to the unique metabolic and muscular demands of swimming.
I then analyse your training load, recovery patterns, and performance metrics—looking closely at energy output across sets, muscle repair between sessions, inflammation markers, sleep quality, and digestive resilience under aquatic stress. We explore how your body is adapting to swim training, where fatigue is accumulating, and why recovery may be delayed or incomplete.
Together, we identify the barriers that are preventing you from reaching peak performance in the pool. Whether it’s inconsistent energy across sessions, underfuelled muscles, poor sleep, recurring shoulder or joint injuries, or stalled progress in speed, power, or endurance—we’ll pinpoint the root causes and build a strategy to overcome them. We’ll set clear, measurable short- and long-term goals tailored to your swim stroke, training phase, physiology, and performance objectives. You’ll leave this phase with exact clarity on why your performance has been suboptimal—and a step-by-step framework to elevate it to its absolute peak.
I also incorporate lifestyle strategies to support sleep architecture, stress regulation, and digestive health—ensuring your body can adapt, recover, and perform consistently across training blocks and competition cycles. You’ll receive precise guidance on structuring meals around swim sessions, pre- and post-pool nutrition, supplement protocols, and daily routines that align with your goals, swim schedule, and physiology.
This blueprint is not a generic meal plan—it’s a strategic, evidence-based framework built to enhance your swimming performance, reduce injury risk (especially shoulder and joint strain), and support long-term athletic development. You’ll leave the consultation reinvigorated, motivated, and with complete clarity on your new path to achieving your best-ever performance—and, most importantly, sustaining it for life.

As your swimming nutritionist, I go beyond surface-level advice to deliver strategic, personalised nutrition frameworks that match the intensity, frequency, and technical demands of your swim training. Whether you’re a junior swimmer building foundational strength, a competitive athlete chasing PBs, or an elite performer preparing for national or international meets—your nutrition must be as disciplined and targeted as your training.
I help you fuel harder swim sets, stabilise energy across long and short intervals, and maintain lean muscle mass without compromising endurance. Together, we address the unique metabolic demands of swimming—supporting shoulder integrity, joint resilience, and recovery between sessions. I also guide you through the nuances of race-day fuelling, taper nutrition, and seasonal periodisation to ensure your body is primed for peak output when it matters most.
This isn’t about quick fixes or generic meal plans. It’s about precision. I integrate evidence-based protocols used by elite swimmers to help you perform consistently, adapt faster, and recover smarter. You’ll gain clarity, confidence, and a nutrition strategy that finally matches your potential in the water—and supports it long-term.
Real Stories of Success: Achieve Your Best Ever Performance

| Poor Sports Nutrition | Optimal Swimming Nutrition With Myself |
|---|---|
| Unpredictable energy levels, frequent fatigue during training and competitions, often feeling drained before sessions are complete. | I tailor your fuelling strategy to match your swim intensity, session duration, and seasonal goals—ensuring your body has the right balance of carbohydrates, protein, and hydration before, during, and after each swim. This prevents energy crashes, sustains output, and helps you finish strong without feeling depleted. |
| Slow recovery between sessions, prolonged muscle soreness, delayed adaptation to training, and increased susceptibility to overuse injuries. | I use precise nutrient timing, anti-inflammatory foods, and evidence-based supplements to accelerate your recovery. This includes post-swim meals that replenish glycogen, repair muscle tissue, and reduce inflammation—so you adapt faster, reduce soreness, and avoid injury setbacks. |
| Suboptimal training intensity and endurance, hitting performance plateaus, limited improvements in speed, power, and aerobic capacity. | I analyse your swim load and metabolic demands to build a nutrition plan that fuels both aerobic and anaerobic systems. Whether you’re working on sprint speed, middle-distance power, or endurance, I ensure your body has the nutrients it needs to push harder, recover faster, and break through plateaus. |
| Inconsistent performance across training sessions and competitions due to poor energy management and nutrient deficiencies. | I create a structured, periodised swim nutrition plan that aligns with your training calendar. This includes micronutrient support, strategic carbohydrate loading, and hydration protocols—so your energy, focus, and output remain consistent across every session and meet. |
| Increased risk of joint strain, muscle fatigue, delayed recovery, and stress-related injuries due to poor nutrient intake. | I support your musculoskeletal system with targeted intake of collagen-building nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and protein. This strengthens connective tissue, reduces inflammation, and improves recovery—especially under high swim volumes or repetitive stroke strain. |
| Rapid fatigue and decreased endurance during prolonged sessions or competitions, limiting the ability to sustain intensity. | I calculate your carbohydrate needs based on swim duration and intensity, and pair them with electrolyte strategies tailored to your sweat rate and pool environment. This ensures sustained energy production, delayed fatigue, and optimal endurance during long-distance efforts. |
| Poor concentration, mental fatigue, slower reaction times, and decreased tactical decision-making under physical stress. | I integrate cognition-supportive nutrients like omega-3s, B vitamins, and hydration timing to enhance your mental clarity. This sharpens your focus, improves reaction speed off the blocks, and supports better decision-making—especially under pressure or fatigue. |
| Inconsistent hydration, increased risk of cramps, dizziness, headaches, and reduced physical and cognitive performance. | I assess your fluid and electrolyte losses using sweat rate data and pool conditions, then build a personalised hydration protocol. This prevents dehydration-related symptoms like cramps and headaches, and keeps your physical and mental performance stable throughout training and competition. |
| Poor sleep quality, insufficient recovery, ongoing fatigue, and reduced adaptation to training load. | I combine swim-specific nutrition with sleep hygiene strategies and circadian rhythm support—using nutrients that promote melatonin production, regulate cortisol, and enhance deep sleep. This improves your recovery window, reduces fatigue, and boosts your ability to adapt to training stress. |
| Micronutrient deficiencies affecting energy production, immunity, and muscle function. | I identify and correct micronutrient gaps through food-first strategies and targeted supplementation. This includes iron, zinc, magnesium, and antioxidants—critical for energy metabolism, immune defence, and muscle repair—so you stay healthy and perform at your best in the water. |
| Frequent cravings, inconsistent hunger signals, and reliance on low-quality snacks leading to poor body composition. | I regulate your appetite and blood sugar with structured meal timing, balanced macronutrients, and fibre-rich foods. This reduces cravings, supports lean muscle gain, and helps you maintain a healthy body composition without relying on processed snacks or reactive eating. |
| Mental fatigue, low motivation, and increased risk of burnout during demanding training cycles. | I support your mental resilience with mood-stabilising nutrients, recovery protocols, and mindset strategies. This includes adaptogens, magnesium, and omega-3s—plus lifestyle tools to protect motivation, reduce burnout risk, and keep you mentally engaged across long swim blocks. |
| Suboptimal adaptation to new training loads, slower physiological improvements, and decreased competitive readiness. | I align your nutrition with your swim phase—using strategic carbohydrate periodisation, protein dosing, and recovery windows to accelerate physiological adaptation. This improves aerobic and anaerobic capacity, and ensures you’re primed for peak performance when it counts. |
As your swimming nutritionist, I don’t just plan your meals—I craft a personalised, science-backed performance blueprint that transforms the way your body trains, recovers, and performs in the water.
Every strategy I design is tailored to the unique physiological demands of swimming. From fuelling high-intensity sets to supporting shoulder integrity and joint resilience, I help you unlock relentless energy, sharpen mental focus, and accelerate recovery between sessions.
Whether you’re building endurance for distance events or explosive power for sprints, your nutrition will be calibrated to help you push harder, adapt faster, and achieve results you once thought impossible—consistently and sustainably.
