How are swimmers smashing so many world records?

I was discussing this with my coworkers today. It’s really quite incredible how dominant the swimmers are in Beijing. I do want to believe that Michael Phelps is just that good, but my true fear is that news will emerge concerning his use of performance-enhancing drugs, either during the games or afterwards, á la Marion Jones. Lets hope that never happens.
