I will be swimming five days a week. I want to use the other two days for complementary non-swimming workouts. I am looking for suggestions. Being that I am out of shape the first thing that comes to mind is weight training. I could see some yoga in there as well.
Or...should I only use one day for a non-swimming workout and rest for one day?
Not true for fly and back sprints either in my experience. My times have dropped after adding these and other lower body exercises. Also, if you're kicking 10-15 meters underwater, the distinction between turning and kicking is blurred.
Although I am no where near Fort's times, I can second what she said. When I started with my current team, I added in their dry land of running, jump ropes, torpedo jumps, etc. And I started dropping time.
