I just ordered and received my "Yoga for Swimmers" DVD. I have watched it a few times and attempted many of the poses....it is harder than I thought and I'm way less flexible than I thought.Can anyone out there attest to the benefits of yoga when it comes to swimming? I'm trying to decide whether to do a consistent weight lifting routine or if I should practice yoga - I don't have time for both right now.

I am almost too flexible. I am not a believer in streatching. I do exercises when not swimming my self designed stuff. I never lift weights. I also walk when not swimming but when I swim I do not bother with any thing else except in Mexico my wife and I walk uptown eveyday. 2.5 miles uptown 2.5 miles back and do lots of swimming. I prefer full stroke swimming over any other activity.
But anyone can do whatever they think best.
So every swimmer out there who does flexibility, strength and power activities outside the pool is wrong?????
