I wanted to know if there are some drills I can do while swimming that will gain muscle in the arms, legs, stomach, shoulders etc.
Thanks

You may want to try adding drag, using hand paddles or flippers for a more intense workout. Also, you will want to do mainly sprint sets as short (as 25 yards) for the majority of your workout. Obviously, your yardage and pool time will decrease, but your muscles should increase due to the added load on the muscles. Just be careful with your joints. If you want to bulk up, the best way is through weights. Also, it is extremely important that you eat enough protein if you are trying to add muscle.
