long, continuous swims

Do top swimmers, like Phelps, also do long, continuous swims at times or do they only do interval training? Does anyone here ever do long, continuous swims? I basically only do interval training and maybe add longer distances in my workout but I never do a complete workout as a continuous swim. Should one also include continuous swim sessions?

    I'm 99.99999% sure that Phelps only does interval training. However! There was a news story recently that mentioned Bob Bowman wanting him to do a 5000 for time. At first, Phelps was like, "Hell no", then he asked, "Do I need to?" So there's that.
