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?
Generally speaking, I think it can be good. The difficulty is managing energy levels and making sure you're not too tired or sore to swim. My dryland training is minimal by design. Also, I've had great seasons where I did very little (or practically nothing) outside of the pool in the months leading up to the big meet.
