Hello, Do any of you lift weights and if so has it helped with your swimming? (ie: made you swim faster, harder, times are lower etc?) Thanks

Also if you are a beginner of swimming or weight training. Or if at a younger age you did these phyiscal actives. You then have a base for either activeity. But rule of thumb , is tif you are in the weight room one day then do not swim that day . Unless you weight train 15 - 20 minutes and are ging to swim 15 minutes. but if you are swimming say 2500-meters , then dont weight train that day.Same goes for weights then dont swim.:) :cool: I'd say if you're gonna swim more like 4000 don't weight train on the sme day (at least not a full workout). And ... I'm half ways out of shape 34-year old girl, and not a very fast swimmer (yet). ;)
