Just wondering how other folks here balance gym and pool workouts.
Now that I'm back in the pool I'm adjusting my lifting quite a bit to complement the swimming.
Used to, I'd alternate upper/lower body on alternate days, with one day a week off.
Now that I'm in the pool, I feel like I'm not giving my muscles enough rest time, since a swim is essentially a whole-body resistance set.
So far, I've been swimming Mon/Wed/Fri, and lifting Tue (upper), Thu (lower), and Sat (core). As I get better swim-conditioned, I plan to re-adjust, probably with more pool time.
Any thoughts, tips, experience?

At the moment, it's Mon-Fri 3:30 to 5:30, and 6:30-8:30 Sat mornings. The weekday morning workout was dropped right before the taper.
After new years, it'll probably be two hours early in the morning, then another hour and a half five days a week with the school team, and another two in the afternoon.
Ai ai ai!
