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

    I should have mentioned that part too. I usually give myself a light ten minute warmup before doing any weights. Then do weights. Then a longer cardio afterwards (30-60 minutes). So, maybe I should jump on the elliptical trainer (with the moving bars to get my arms warmed up) before I start lifting? Good point about lifting first... the arms won't be as tired. Thanks!:wave:
