Let us remind ourselves that it would be very hard to go over 20min of anaerobic work day in day out. (for an elite sprinter, that would be around 20x100 at race pace). You do this Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and some day something bad will come out of this obsession for race pace training.
This definitely rings true, though I never thought of it in terms of time before. In my experience, more than 10 minutes of anaerobic swimming per day is not sustainable for more than a week or two.
