There are so many variables in this equation. Unless you had 2 swimmers train the same hours, eat the same diet, sleep the same hours, have the same family life, work the same or simillar jobs, do the same dryland/weights...... you really can't compare apples to oranges. It would be a very interesting research to do and see the results.
