I swim 7 days/week 2-3 hours a day. I have heard of adding lifting to my routine to improve my strength, but on days that I lift(possibly 3x a week) do I also swim on those days?
And if I do not add lifting into my workout routine and just continue with swimming 7/wk, do I take a day off? I heard Michael Phelps never took a day off since he was 11 years old and look where he is now... best swimmer in the world.

Rest is good if your working hard on your training days. My favorite active rest is surfing once or twice a week. :applaud:
