Ande,
Thanks for posting that interview. I really enjoyed it. If those are the kinds of things he does to prepare his swimmers, it's no wonder he so successful.
Although not really comparable to competing at the Olympics, I definitely notice that at large meets and especially nationals I walk and stand much more than I would during the course of a normal day. I try to be conscientious about staying off my feet but I'm rarely successful and my legs are trashed by the end of the day. I think I'll take Brette Hawke's advice and just try to get in walking/standing shape as another avenue of full preparation.
