Running. Does it help your swimming or is it an interesting diversion? A lot of people here seem to cross train with running. (Some are obviously triathletes). USS teams now have their swimmers running. But does running really help swimming?
For me, I'm not so sure. I think it helps a bit on the cardio side and may build leg strength. I do it to tighten everything up, because I like being outside and it gives my shoulders a break. But I'm not sure I wouldn't be better off with more pool time if my body could take it.

I promise you, the most valuable thing you do for your underwater work is to practice every turn/pushoff/breakout like it was for an Olympic medal. .
Of course. All I was trying to say is that the added strength and agility i gain from the dryland training HELPS.
