Hi,
A couple of months ago I was looking up weight training/dry lands for my daughter. I came across a very interesting site that inferred that weight training/dry lands done properly could replace a portion of swimming...I spent some time reading through it and the author made quite a bit of sense.
Unfortunately, I did not save the site. The author referred to a number of exercises...ie squats, cords, tricep kick backs....as a matter of training and had them broken down into sets. (Almost mimicking a swim practice)
The site is not brianmac.co.uk. I have tried to find it again and I am hoping that it rings a bell with someone on the forum. If not, does anyone know of a good reference dvd or book with some programs to follow...although I would prefer the site.
Thanks in advance,
Whitney

I would not use dry land or weight training as a form of replacement for swimming. The most important thing for a swimmer to do is swim. If time were a problem, I would cut out the dry land or weights and do the swimming. Dry land and weights should supplement your swimming, not the other way around. Just my opinion, others may differ.
