It was amazing to see how many of the non-USA swimmers (and runners too) trainined in the USA either at the collegiate or club level. It really has broadened the talent pool across many more countries than say 20 years ago.

The best was the white guy from Kenya in the 100 fly. He was American, right. Was Kenya a british territory back in the early 1900s.
Being white doesn't make you American. You're thinking of Jason Dunford, he and his brother David are actually from Kenya, but they go to Stanford, just like Kirsty Coventry and most of the South Africans really are from Africa.
Point of interest I believe both Ryk Neethling and Roland Schoeman were both offered money to swim for Qatar that they turned down.
