OK folks, here's the query......
If I swim in a meet today and realize that I have a need to build some more strength, can I accomplish any benefit toward a meet seven days from now by doing weight training ??
Or, will I just be breaking down muscle fibre and find myself weaker in seven days ?
What is the time span for realizing benefits from weights without hurting oneself?
I'm on a mission.......................... Bert ;)

I think yes. I'd lift only once about 4-5 days before the meet.
This is just an opinion, however if you are swimming in a meet every week, then you have plenty of chances to try it out one way or the other.
Swim fast!
