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!

But this doesn't answer the question about why coaches/those in the know are saying that distance swimmers shouldn't lift, but sprinters should.
Any coaches/"experts" out there who why, phsyiologically or whatever, that distance swimmers shouldn't lift weights or a lot of weights?
Thanks!!
