I don't know whether this should go under workouts or not, so I'm sorry if it's not in the right place. Swimming season starts in Mid-November, and right now, I'm playing football. I am 6'1, 185lbs, and by my 1st meet, I wanna be 160lbs. getting down to 160lbs is no problem, but I was wondering if swimmers usually do weight lifting, my program will probably consist of hi reps, low weight. are there any exercises for swimmers? I swim Free, ***, and Back. any advice is greatly appreciated

I'd recommend an "explosive" routine utilizing heavy weights and low reps in order to maintain and increase strength as the body sheds unnecessary muscle while streamlining itself for swimming. clyde
