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 went to the physical therpist today. She gave me all kinds of exercises to do. She seems to think that my front upper body is more developed than my upper back causing my shoulders to roll forward giving me pain in da shoulders. Hopefully I can get rid of the pain and be in pool soon :-) greg Greg can you not do *** pullouts and continue underwater doing the fly pull arms coming straight back roughly shoulder width. It should hit rear delt and lats. You can even bend you elows a little to engage more lat--like a pulldown. Just thought...if you want to be in the pool.
