The entire post that gives the quote below is worthy, and I highlight this:

I agree
with your friend that part of his problem is the undercapillarization of his
triceps, lats, etc., relative to swimmers like Andy Miller-Bray, who at age 45
made the USA swimming national open water team which competed at world
championships in Barcelona last summer. In the mid-70s, when Andy was a
teenager, he was swimming probably a hundred thousand meters a week at Mission
Viejo, building up a rich capillary bed around muscle fibers which were
previously "white" and relatively avascular.

I think it's much more related to muscle physiology than to technique.

So a medical doctor thinks like my intuition is:
"...problem is the undercapillarization of his triceps, lats, etc..." and "...building up a rich capillary bed around muscle fibers which were previously "white" and relatively avascular..." and "...it's much more related to muscle physiology than to technique..."
That's what I say when I emphasize conditioning:
"...it's much more related to muscle physiology than to technique..."
Regarding Andy Bray, one has to note that he swam in the 'animal lane' with 1500 free gold medal winner of the 1976 Olympics, Brian Gooddell, under the distance coach Mark Schubert at Mission Viejo.
Distance coach Mark Schubert also produced the 1500 free gold medal winner of the 1984 Olympics, Mike O'Brien.
Now, Mark Schubert is at USC, and Mission Viejo is under Bill Rose -who produced the tough Mike Bruner, winner of the 200 fly in the 1976 Olympics, and who is producing for the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials Chad Carvin, Larsen Jensen and Justin Mortimer-.
Distance coach Mark Schubert also produced the 100 and 200 backstroke winner of the 2000 Olympics, Lenny Krayzelburg, and in 2000 he produced the first sub 15:00 per 1500 meter free in U.S. (14:59), in Erik Vendt.
