I read somewhere that Jason Lezak only swims 4,000 yds/meters a day. Has anyone else heard this? I don't see how an athlete of his caliber can get by on such little yardage. It seems like if he bumped it up some he could be faster than he already is. I swim more than that and I'm nowhere near as fast as him lol.

  • The reason I say this is because he swims for David Salo at Nova Aquatics Perhaps more accurately, formerly of NOVA. Salo now coaches at USC. It's been a tough year for Salo, especially with his women's team. Several Olympic caliber athletes have chosen to leave the program (Weir, Jeffrey, Keller). It must have been a very drastic change in coaching philosophy at USC going from Mark Schubert to Dave Salo.
