Rest days, is it worth taking them?

I swim 7 days/week 2-3 hours a day. I have heard of adding lifting to my routine to improve my strength, but on days that I lift(possibly 3x a week) do I also swim on those days? And if I do not add lifting into my workout routine and just continue with swimming 7/wk, do I take a day off? I heard Michael Phelps never took a day off since he was 11 years old and look where he is now... best swimmer in the world.
