How should I time my weight training in my swim schedule?

I currently swim 6 sessions per week (Mon Tue Thu Fri morning, Tue evening, Sat afternoon, with 2 rest days (Wednesday and Sunday). Recently I have added weight training into my routine, and I would like to do it for 4 weeks. I have currently put them on evenings Monday, Wednesday and Sunday last week (45 minutes each season), but after my weight training, I feel my muscle stiffness and tightness (especially my pecs) sustained overnight, sometimes affecting my swim training as well. Am I putting my weight training to inappropriate times, or should I sacrifice some of the swim sessions for that? (I am using a progressive overload schedule for my swim training, gradually increasing my training mileage, but that does not include any weight training which I never had before) Every swimmer should be in the weight room. The primary goal for swimmers with weight training is injury prevention. You are not going for building bulk. Range of motion, and focusing on the synergists. Look at it this way.. you are already getting a workout on the muscles you use in swimming.. by swimming.. so you want to balance out things.. Also weight training should be done after swimming. Think of it like running on the treadmill as a warmup before you hit the gym.. Keep in mind that training and nutrition go together.. so make sure you are fueling for both the workouts and the recovery.
