Records are being broken this year for several reasons. The swimsuits, better training, and the unique pool that they are swimming in (many features to reduce the amount of waves like being deeper, specially designed lane seperators, empty lanes on the sides, etc).
I feel sorry for the competitors in the next olympics, trying to match up against all the advantages they have this year. Phelps is a good swimmer, no doubt, but look at what Spitz did without any of these advantages. People like him are the real atheletes.
