As is the case with many elite masters...like Josh Davis for example...they're still riding on the wave of base training and technique from their younger days.
"She resumed swimming in her mid-30s, working out three times a week with a masters team. ...She credits her fast times to the mileage base she built in her younger days, muscle memory, the full-body suits that were introduced in 2000 and a more relaxed attitude.
Von der Lippe circuit-trains in a weight room and swims three mornings a week, for 90 minutes at a time. Elite swimmers generally have 5 to 12 workouts in the water a week."
Not everyone is going to excel with such a modest training schedule.
