How about some good favorite swim recipes like a "swim breakfast" or a good "low fat" or just "cheap" to make recipe for a family or your favorite "night before the meet swim dinner". Heres some of mine
Swim Breakfast: Banana , Vanilla Yogurt
Cheap low fat family dinner: "Skarf": 1 pound ground beef, box of frozen mixed vegetables, package of yellow rice and a cup of white rice.
Brown beef and drain all fat/ boil mixed veggies drain/cook rice with a extra cup of white rice/ combine all mix together. makes a big batch, microwaves great, kids love it it , its cheap and I call it skarf because thats what we end up doing because its good!
The night before dinner: Spaghetti with meat balls:
Sauce:
1 big jar Ragu traditional sauce 28 oz or more. /1 ring of green pepper/ 1 big tablespoon olive oil/good shake of parmesan cheese. Stir cook on low heat add :
Meat balls
1 pound ground beef 80 % lean/two pieces white bread crusts removed and chopped up/1 egg/ 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce/1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs/2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix up in a bowl and form into meat balls/ brown in heavy skillet med heat turning often/I place the skillet in the oven also for about 15 minutes @ 350F carefull to remember that skillets hot and then put the meatballs in the sauce to cook at least another 1/2 hour at a low simmer. That one ring of green pepper adds a good flavor to the sauce.
We like this over any knid of spaghetti noodle.

Here's another Q&D recipe:
This is really good, even if you aren't wild about spinach.
Cook 1 chopped sweet onion and 1-2 diced potatoes in a little oil until the potatoes start to get cooked. Add two diced tomatoes (preferable real tomatoes, not the horrible crap they sell in supermarkets) and cook until the tomatoes get more like a sauce. Add 1 lb of chopped, well-washed, FRESH spinach and take off the heat when the spinach changes color (It should still have a some body; not be a mushy mess.). Serve with rice and another veggie.
You can also add one 8 oz can of tomato sauce to the above if you like it wetter.
