I think that mental preparation has a lot to do with how well you swim - well I know it does for me anyway, I take a while focusing before big events. And there was an article in the paper the other with Mel Marshall, she said that she had done all the preparation she needed to do for the Olympics...the only thing that could hold her back from doing a good swim was her mind.
