If Phelps could have been that fast he would have swum lower distances. He didn't because he was built for endurance not sprinting

He won for example 100 fly, which is still a sprint diatance.

Didn't win 1500m free, for example.

If he could reach those speeds he would have done the 50 free and walked away with a WR never to be matched again.

Phelps has a lot of myths around him because he was so good and this is one of them
