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.

Why do swimmers eat so much?
I wouldnt necessarily call it "Fatty" Food that swimmers need. Swimming is a sport that requires many muscles and parts of your body to work in a near-perfect harmony so that you can swim faster. This burns many many many calories per day depending on how much you swim. To keep a swimmers daily calorie intake normal and balanced after burning 1100+ calories a day; that swimmer must eat how ever more calories it has burned then usually so that each day they intake around 2000 calories. A swimmer who has to eat extra calories a day ( like me ;] ) can eat whatever to keep its daily intake back on track. This could be done by eating Cupcakes and burgers all day or eating things like pasta, or other Regular food. Usually it will be found that swimmers don't eat fatty foods to re-gain calories because if your competitively swimming later that day - it doesn't feel that good. The best thing for a swimmer to eat is Pasta before they swim. Hope that helped!
