I know he trained like hell, but was there something about him that made him overpowered?

He was almost genetically born to be a swimmer. Hes double jointed, so his feet and arms have a much larger range of motion than most people. His hands and feet are massive even for someone of his size so they basically could act like flippers. His body is also perfectly proportioned in the exact way that is desired(and advantageous) for swimmers. And if I’m remembering a certain story correctly, it’s said that his body doesn’t build lactic acid up like most people which prevents his body from getting tired like most people and means he can recover faster.
