Does anyone know any good websites/articles on strength and land training for swimming?
If not, any exercises that you find particularly successful for swimming!
Thanks :D

Am looking for a land training circuit rather than weights. This is firstly because my coach has told me to cut out weight training because I suffered from overtraining syndrome last year, and weight training is very damaging on the nervous system and he wants me to build my strength back gradually (havent weight trained for 8months or so). Secondly because I help take circuit training for the younger swimmers at the club and we are looking for new EFFECTIVE exercises, that directly help swimming.
Basically those you use your own body weight/medicine balls/swiss balls/stretch cords/skipping ropes etc etc
Am actually a qualified weight lifting instructor :D but am very interested in what other people are using to build up strength outside the pool for in the pool :cool:
