hello all, I'm from The Netherlands my stats are: 7'1 tall 230lbs I want to swim faster is there a program somewhere that I can follow? Also is it good to do weight lifting like squats,deadlifts, benchpress and all others that work the entire body I know to much muscle wont make you faster in the water but by having a low bodyfat and and little muscle mass that will make you faster?

    hello all, I'm from The Netherlands my stats are: 7'1 tall That's awesome! Height = Speed in the water. i know of a few programs but they're expensive, and just drill progressions. I've personally been Crossfit, and it's from what I see helped my swimming. An Australian coach told me most Elite guys he knows have anywhere from 6-10 percent body fat. I don't know how true that is. Sorry for not having much advice. Soon someng like Ande will come along and help you :3
