Can someone please explain to me why distance swimmers are encouraged NOT to lift weights, or too much weight?
I've read the "do nots" but no one explains the "whys".
Help!

well I don't know a reason for it. I mean what about lifting weights to build muscular endurance? wouldn't that help swimming fast when you are long distance swimmer so you don't loose your strenght on the last few meters?
