Weights & Swimming

Hi there. It's been a while since I lifted weights... (college) - and I was wondering... Since my time is limited and I can't make multiple trips to the rec during the day, would it be smarter for me to lift before I swim or after? What are your thoughts on a personal trainer to help get started? I realized that I need to start lifting because of how I swam today at my meet. I've been doing some great work at practice - but I think I need a little bit of assistance. :joker: Thanks, Sarah

  • My husband has always recommended to me that I do weights before cardio. Your body gets so worn out from the cardio that it isn't as efficient and can't be pushed as hard to lift weights. All the age group teams I know have lifted weights before their workout, too. I have no idea if this is good advice but it's reasonably seemed to work for me.
