Special swimming food? Never ate anything specific.
Swimming for a long time will often make you very hungry because nothing burns calories like swimming. It's cardio and resistance at the same time. Then there is all the breathing. Swimming takes a lot out of you, physically.
Eat what you normally would, just eat more when you're hungrier.

I have a HRM (Polar FT1) that monitors how much I actually burn. MFP's database for all exercises can be wildly off.
There is a swimming group on here:
