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

well, I kind of made my own shoulder and arm exercises that work the muscles that you use to swim. and I already know ALOT about weight lifting, and bodybuilding, so I know that High weight and Low reps increases mass, and Hi reps with Low weight helps muscle endurance, and is used to tone the muscle. So I am focusing on muscle endurance untill swimming, I'm looking to gain anymore weight
