Does swimming and mountain climbind in contrary with each other? i do both and even some workouts on my stomach to reduce its fat but the lifeguard said you can't make progress in your swimming this way. those sports made youre body hard while swim needs a soft body. i want to know how true is it? and Shoud I stop these?
I mean my coach said my body in water is not that much relaxed. He said i constrict my muscles during swim (swim likes a robot; he said). and he said it is because of montain climbing and other activitie which i do , they made my muscles compressed while swimming needs relaxed ones.
also I am not so sure about his opinion maybe my problem is somethin else?
i will be glad to hear you opinion
A swimmer I knew was an National champ in breaststroke in college.After college he got into rock climbing and that became his primary exercise.Then he would come to a meet every few years and set a Masters world record.
If you "swim like a robot" it may be a flexibility issue and stretching would help,or it may be a feel of the water issue and you should do some drills to help that.
