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)??

My understanding that push ups are okay if your fingers face more out to the side and not forrows. So it's the bench press motion with the fly hand positioning.
No idea on pull ups.
Dips I would think would be okay because of the thumbs forward / fingers to the side positioning.
