Greetings
I have asked you for advice in the past on my 13 yo age group swimming son and the feedback has been great. So, here goes again. He has lifted weights in school this semester with great results. He wants to continue after the class ends next month at our health club. I have to admit the results have been dramatic in the pool as well as his appearance. I would like to see him continue but need suggestions as to his program in terms of frequency, specific lifts etc. Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input.
I like the post by elise that suggested strength training as opposed to weight lifting. In truth, the class that he is taking now seems more along those lines. He does a wide variety of agility drills, core strength, running and such with weights mixed in. Perhaps taking a couple of days a week and helping him develop a varied dryland program with some resistance training as a part of it all may be an option. Again thanks for all the responses.
