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?

Hey,
Not atm but im going to swim every day 1-3 hours and 1 hour weight lifting with weight lifting i'm going to aim flexibility and strengththe latissimus dorsi must be trained since swimmers use them alot:). And I'm not American but Dutch and I got my motivation from Pieter van den Hoogenband I think u know him. First i was more into bodybuilding since my twin brother was also into bodybuilding, but I know how those pro's workout alot of time spending in the water and very less weigh training:)
i only think i get difficult with nutrition I dont want to get malnourished since swimming burns alot of calories.
