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?

I am a HS swim coach and also swimmer. Morning before school I have my kids doing p90x. Not all of the different days but Plyo, Chest and Back, Arms and shoulders, legs and back with stretch bands/chords...NO WEIGHTS.
As for myself I am on deployment in the middle east til May and when I can I go 2 a day's...swim and p90x I take advantage of it. That is when I have the opportunity. Sometimes I can't swim and I focus on my cardio. But I have dropped 32 lbs. Went from 257 in May down to 225. I am 6'3" and when I get off deployment I want to be around 215 so I can focus on World Master's games.
