Some workouts were 10K twice/day--like during Christmas break...and no days off. Then we had dryland training as well. Train 48-50 weeks a year. People have no idea what it takes to be a world-class swimmer...but I would put our training regimen up against ANY OTHER sport.
There are no easy sports. That's why I'm a champion couch potato.
