It should be "lean and mean". The swimmer doesn't need to have an excess of muscle, or else it will counter the stroke pattern and will mess you up. Also the swimmer doesn't need to have an excess of body fat, which reduces your hydrodynamic form. But there doesn't need to be a large absence of either muscle of fat either, or else you won't be strong enough to swim quickly, or have enough energy. The body composition should be in between these two extremes. Although if one works their core (abs) more than the typical person, it isn't counter-effective to the stroke.
