Strength Training and Fitness Swimming

I swim 3 - 4 times a week and also strength train a few times weekly. In the past I did a lot of heavy lifting but it was hard to combine it with good swim workouts because I was extremely fatigued the next day and my joints ached. I now do bodyweight exercises, a little strand pulling and some kettlebell training. I would like to hear how other members are strength training in order to get new ideas. If it matters, I am a 55 year old male.

  • Swimming Anatomy and Conditioning for Swimming - do either or both offer strength training beyond weightlifting? I do not have access to a gym and am looking for exercises to do at home. "Swimming Anatomy" has many exercises that do not require any eqt., as well as several more that only require hand weights, an exercise ball, or medicine ball.
