Here. An example found on Alex's blog about the serious these cyclists put in putting numbers on concepts.
In this blog entry, Alex is describing the intimate relationship that exists between aerobic and anaerobic capacities. Shows how one can get you to know about the other. The core of this article teaches you how to use power to estimate your max accumulated o2 deficit, thus your anaerobic capacity. Note that with a bunch of old equations, suggested by Toussain I believe, the same analysis could probably be done for swimmers, if only swim coaches had a mere interest in quantifying their theories instead of writing generic articles that won't commit to provide numbers.
In other words, these guys can monitor when too much aerobic capacity work could impair their sprinting abilities, as they progress into their season by assessing on a regular basis their estimated max accumulated o2 deficit.
(warning: That's hardcore explicit content ;-)

That said though. Cycling coaches (at least the good ones) are mystified by swim coaches. They think we really rock. We are often quoted as being the bests of the bests in training athletes on Intervals. Often, in documents that describe the evolution of cycling coaching, swimming world is quoted for having had a major influence on this evolution. I've seen Coggan being proud of explaining that he sometimes train on send off intervals, and that it was a very good way to train aerobic's higher edge on an indoor trainer (to break the boredom whilst making sure you'd stay in the Zone). I've also read Jack Daniels (famous running coach) mentioning that his cruise interval training system was directly inspired by how swim coaches work.
