I am sure that the other swimmers here, who swam college and/or age groups can tell you better what swim programs are like these days, I have been out of that type of swimming for about 17 years now.
I'm quite sure I would sustain a lifelong shoulder injury if I tried to keep that schedule. Wish I had that kind of endurance. That's awesome.
