Weights and rest

I am fairly new to masters swimming and while I did swim in college, I never swam year round or for a club team. So when I swam in the past weights were only something that was used during waterpolo or during the early part of the swim season. And even then I rarely hit the weights. Recently I found a work out written for sprinters that I have started to follow. It seems pretty well written and well thought out. The work out is broken down for a 5 month season like this. month 1 - Endurance training (high reps) Month 2 - Stength and power (heavier wieghts low reps) Month 3 - Speed training (high reps at pace) Month 4 - Stength and power Month 5 - Taper I've adjusted it to 3 week blocks so that the last month ends at an upcoming zone championship meet. The plan is based on a full body work out 3 days per week. I've just started doing this and in addition I am swimming 4-5 days per week, about 3000 - 4000 yards per day. So questions are as follows: 1. Is this too much? Will I not get enough rest? I'm 33 and so far, after two weeks I feel fine. 2. On weeks where I plan to swim in a meet do I lay off the weights or just stick to the plan and build for the zone championship meet? Right now I would be lifting on the day before the smaller meets. 3. And with swimming year round, do I follow a similar plan and only back off the weights for the big meets? Any help is appreciated.
