Strike the right balance between the calories you consume and the calories you burn.
Olympic swimmers most probably need more than 2'000 Calories (I assume you refer to kilo calories and not calories) per day.2'000 Calories is about the amount that somewhat active women need per day to stay in energy balance. The Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps consumed 12'000 Calories per day during the Olympic games. This is due to their activity level. Michael for example spend 6 hours 6 days per week swimming. This forces the body to use a lot of energy which in turn forces the person to consume large amounts of energy in order to not lose weight.

Yes, but not just for energy for your body to move. Your heart and lungs need energy to function, as does your brain and all of your organs.
