The talent pool is much smaller in swimming. The only reason it takes so much training is because swimming is not very punishing on the body, so people CAN practice intensely for a long time without injury.
To be elite at running you have to outcompete probably 50x more people, much more challenging.


I'd say that not only is the talent pool small in the US, swimming isnt a sport that is truly "international". It's unique to 1st World countries. It's a country club sport.
