Nutrition education intervention outline.

Session	Topics	Session Goals
1	Dietary protein and body composition	To understand the importance of dietary protein in optimising body composition and develop the skills necessary to achieve the total daily protein required to facilitate optimal body composition changes.
2	Pre-training nutrition	To understand the purpose of fueling prior to exercise and develop the skills necessary to implement a pre-exercise fueling plan to delay onset of fatigue and dehydration, improve and maintain training and performance, and avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
3	Nutrition during training and hydration	To understand the purpose of fueling during exercise and develop the skills necessary to implement an intra-exercise fueling plan to improve and maintain training and performance. To understand the purpose of hydration for sport and exercise and develop the skills necessary to implement a hydration plan to delay onset of dehydration, improve and maintain training and performance, and decrease risk of illness and injury.
4	Post-training nutrition	To understand the purpose of recovery nutrition and develop the skills to implement a recovery nutrition plan, including glycogen repletion, rehydration, and initiating recovery and adaptation processes in the body using carbohydrate, protein, and fluids.
5	Nutritional supplements for performance and health	To understand the regulation and safety of nutritional supplements and introduce nutritional supplements with proven ergogenic and health benefits.
6	Competition nutrition	To understand the nutritional requirements during multiple-day swimming events and develop the skills to implement a nutritional plan that improves and maintains performance, including adequate pre-race fueling, glycogen repletion, rehydration, and informed food selection whilst eating at restaurants.
7	Nutrition during taper	To understand the nutritional requirements when training loads are reduced and develop the skills needed to implement a nutrition plan that prevents over- or under-fueling.
