I suppose the pros do a lot of dryland exercises since that's part of their living :D What about the amateurs? Is it crucial in order to swim right and well? Especially the core training?
I do dryland training a couple times a week, both to enhance my swimming and to help offset the loss of muscle mass that comes with age.
I like using stretch bands because you can simulate the compound motions of the stroke which increases the specificity of the exercise. I also do basic body weight exercises like push ups, pull ups, planks, etc.
