There really is no good swimmer's body. I knew a guy that was about 6', 150 lbs., and could swim a 100-yard butterfly-stroke event in about 50 seconds, while kids two years older than him with twice as much muscle mass couldn't touch his speed, he even set a record at my high school swimming pool. As a side, Michael Phelps didn't start lifting weights until after the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Swimming is more technique than it is muscle, and any serious swimmer will tell you the same.
