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'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.
Yeah, these are basically all the other people I see at the pool I go to at the moment who swim free-style and they're usually not very good. I'm the only one who swims with an interval training plan. Once in a while you do see a swimmer doing interval training and they're really good so I assumed that no one who swims better than average would ever do continuous swims.
