i have read (here actually: www.swimdcac.org/.../article5.html) that the bench press does more harm than good for swimmers. what is everyone else's opinion (and experience)??

Totally agree with that Dr. Gull.
When we were teen agers...doing dips were as easy as touching your toes.
I remember climbing the ropes in the gym with just hands no legs.
I can still do them now (dips). And it would appear that it all depends on how much weight you are dipping up and down.
But then again at 45 years old... I weigh a few lbs. less than I did at 21.
