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?

  • Seems like he does include continuous swimming. Geez, speaking of hard training though. I have a feeling this isn't truly non-stop, continuous swimming. More likely it's primarily short rest, long aerobic sets rather than "ok, everyone get in and swim a 5,000."
