Calling all USMS members. Your response to this post will be used to create an article in Swimmer magazine about cross training. What types of training do you most commonly do outside of the pool? How often? What cross training works the best, and what types are the least helpful for swimming? :bliss:

On the advise of other swimmers, I took up Yoga to keeo felxibilty in my shoulders and for overall strength development in my shoulders and surrounding muscles. I wouldn't say I have noticed an improvement in my swim times, but my shoulders aren't as achy as they were before I started Yoga and who doesn't want to increase general flexibilty.
