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 have always felt that lifting was an essential...but supplemental part of my swimming. Anytime I have done ANY dry land exercise before swimming (weights, yoga, spinning, running stadiums) my swimming suffered. I think these guys summed up the debate very well:
