this is just a thought, i don't know if you guys will agree but i'll still share it anyway.
i've been training for boxing, muay thai and capoeira aside from weight lifting, i love martial arts and i've been doing it for years. now my passion is in swimming though i'm still new i would want to be really good at it.
my thought is that from my experience in boxing, punching really develops your back muscles and gives your arms more strenght.
with muay thai, kicking the bag with your shin and heels 50x-100x per leg it does make it powerful and stronger.
same goes with capoeira with their ginga, the dance like movement that they do before executing any kicks or flips, it develops your hamstring and glute muscles.
what do you think?

i think certain martial arts training can be very beneficial for swimming, but i wouldn't sacrafice pool time for the dojo.
i personally was unable to remain injury-free while training in jui jitsu and tae quan do.......... thats how/why i got back into the pool.
now, yoga seems to satisfy my flexability and strength needs.
