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

    thanks, so I'll do reps of like 20. but I really don't like using the machines, I'll do free weights, like this: Bicep curls 25lbs - 20 reps, 3 or 4 sets that's just one example. now I have to find the time and the energy to do my swimming workouts, because I am not quiting football.
