I'll also hazard a guess that the majority of "elite" swimmers already have strong core muscles and do not need further strengthening with supplemental exercises (pilaties, yoga, etc) because they are exercising those muscles while they are swimming.
That's kind of been my take on it too.
I misinterpreted this and became engaged to my core, endlessly showering it with love by filling it with beer and pizza. Now I have to start all over!
:D
