Swimming after liftin'

Never tried it myself. Is there a certain kind of workout that is more advisable? I was thinking do some quick sprints as I don't want to be at the gym for 3 hours but I don't want to hurt myself either.

  • I suppose it is different for each individual. I suggest trying thing both ways and see what works best for you. I lift weights, and then hit the pool immediately with low expectations. It takes me about 800 yards of a nice easy stretchy swim before I feel right in the water. I only lift once weekly, usually on Fridays. I'm usually sore the next day from the weights, and I don't swim on weekends.
