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?

Not really - that's best left to the professionals, but the article had some good tips towards the bottom.
I guess that from a lay perspective, the last meal before fasting each day should contain 'slow release' energy sources - wholegrain, proteins, nuts etc. As for supplements, I'd certainly consider vitamins, but other than that couldn't really advise.
