Yes...they have yoga mats on deck that they pull out and go into stretching routines, core work, etc., really cool stuff. We are going to have a group of our masters swimmers join in sometime in the next few weeks (we did an impromptu version of this last Saturday when we had to get out of the pool because of lightening, Laura psoted some photo's on our Facebook "group" site.)
Lucky masters! Personally, I'd really like this kind of workout, but it suits a sprinter's ADD mentality. And there's nothing wrong with minimizing swimming monotony with a little action!
It appears that there is just a dispute on the forum and elsewhere as to how much pure athleticism (Cross Fit, P90X, certain dryland or cross training) translates to fast(er) swimming.
