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 would imagine Phelps would do interval sets along with continuous swimming.
In my former swimming career, I did do continuous swimming sets, although it wasn't the majority of my swimming.
I have done swim continuous sets in my own training. Its tough can be tough to start doing but once you do, its not that bad.
I've seen a lot of regulars get in the pool, swim for like 30-45 minutes straight, and then get out. They do this every day. Usually these are older, noncompeting people.
