Hi, Does anyone know of any websites and/or books that have detailed diagrams that show the primary and/or secondary muscle groups used during different types of swimming styles? - Thanks for your help

    Try here: www.exrx.net/Exercise.html M Actually, i'd suggest you visit the whole site, not just the Exercise part (Sorry Glider, did not mean to disparage your posting). It's full of excellent knowledge and diagrams. I often re-visit and just browse around for hours.

    Thanks, yeah thats a really good site. I actually knew about and use it all the time for when I weight lift though. I'm looking more in particular for a muscle diagram that for example shows a guy swimming freestyle and shaded in red are the exact muscles being used/stretched.

Try Googling "muscles used in freestyle swimming" You'll get lots of links www.slowtwitch.com/.../freestyle.html swimming.about.com/.../swim_weight.htm www.thestretchinghandbook.com/.../stretches-swimming.php and you'll also find a lot of garbage. I'm sure you'll soon learn "triage".
