Train high, live low: That apparently is the most effective way to train.

Eamon Sullivan, Ryk Neethling, Roland Schoeman, César Cielo, and many other sprinters from outside the US seem to gravitate to the United States when it comes to training.
From the Herald Sun: "STAR sprinter Eamon Sullivan is confident a stint of high altitude training in the US will give him an added advantage as he steps up his campaign for the Olympic swimming trials in March. ..." [Link]

Here are some of the names I feel will be in the 50 meter free final in Beijing. All have trained in or live in the United States:

César CieloBen Wildman Tobriner
Roland Schoeman
Cullen Jones
Eamon Sulivan

i am an exercise science major at Indiana University, and I am sure we learned that its actually better to live high altitude and train low altitude. an example of this is ed moses and his high altitude tent he would sleep in.
