Yea, I'd say that will stand past this week.
The greatest swimmer of all time, hes not even close to being the greatest athlete. Swimming is low impact and far less physically demanding than a lot of other spots/athletics, swimmers are lucky that they are able to compete every day in the olympics, for most other sports its simply physcially impossible.
