Go ahead and join your local USA swim team to start getting in shape. This is the best way to get in shape for swim team. You can do some dry land training, but the best way to get in shape is to actually swim. You can locate your nearest USA swim team here: http://www.usaswimming.org/usasweb/Deskt...

It doesn't sound like you really need to worry about too much dieting, just eat a healthy, balanced diet. You can get your personalized food pyramid here: http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/planner/...

Once you start to swim and work out harder you will need to increase your caloric intake because you will be burning many more calories.
