Swimming and Fasting

As a practicing Muslim, in the month of Ramadaan, I'm required to fast. Meaning no food or water from dawn to sundown. I'm wondering if because of this I might as well abandon all hope of doing anything in the career of Swimming. I do plan on doing CrossFit to stay in shape, but nothing can replace quality swimming. So do I really have no chance of making it anywhere, such as the Olympic because of this? Or is there still some bleak of hope?

  • It depends on what you define as good times. For most swimmers, a proper taper for a big meet includes almost daily water time in the weeks before the meet. Your coach is the best judge of how you should train to prepare for a big meet and it may take a couple of seasons of work with your coach to find what works best for you.
