Why should I lift heavy? I have no desire whatsoever to add mass, nor to win any weight competition. I think the gotta lift heavy mantra was roundly discredited about 2 decades ago. I train with some pretty super fast swimmers and none of them go beserk on the heavy weights.
Those three things are only for if you want more muscle mass, which I think is the primary way strength training leads to faster swimming.
