What about Michael Phelps’ body makes him a good swimmer?

Here are a detail of  Michael Phelps’ Body makes him a good swimmer:

Michael Phelps’ Heart and Lungs:
I’ve heard that his heart pumps twice the normal amount of blood as a normal person, which definitely helps, being an athlete. From swimming since he was little, he’s built up his lung capacity to quite a bit, so that helps a lot also.

Michael Phelps’ Arms:
his wingspan is 6 feet, 7 inches, which is not proportionate to his height of 6 feet, 4 inches. This helps his arms have more power, being able to take longer strokes (the less strokes in however length, the quicker you go).

Michael Phelps’ Legs:
His legs, shorter than the wingspan would suggest, reduce drag. Also, when he was confined to the kick-board, because he broke his wrist, it gave him an opportunity to strengthen his legs.

Michael Phelps’ Feet:
Size 14 feet act as flippers in the water. Also, his hyper-mobile ankles allow him to whip quicker during breaststroke, just like flippers would.

I’ve also heard that his knees are double-jointed, but I’m not totally sure. This is the only one that I’m not 100% on. . .
