>Several physical attributes particularly suit Phelps to swimming: his long, thin torso offers low drag; his arms span 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm)—disproportionate to his height of 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm)—and act as long, propulsive paddles; his relatively short legs lower drag, and perhaps add the speed enhancement of a hydrofoil; his size-14 feet provide the effect of flippers; and his hypermobile ankles can extend beyond the pointe of a ballet dancer, enabling him to whip his feet as if they were fins for maximum thrust through the water. His lungs are nearly twice the size of the average human's, at 12 litres. >(src: wikipedia)
The level of lucky physical freakishness that is required to be an Olympian is truly remarkable, and a little bit demoralising.
he goes to get tested for Marfan's every year at some university, but so far they think he probably doesnt have it as he lacks the hypoglycemia, skeletal defects associated with the disorder and some other stuff.
so its a "maybe". not even a "probably"

Many swimmers have lung capacities 1.5-2 times that of normal people. It has to do with the fact that swimmers need to intake as much air as possible with each breath. And you're just describing a typical Olympic swimmer body. Lochte has a similar body.
