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
I think that the answer depends somewhat on whether we are talking about high-altitude alpinism, rock climbing, or relatively low-altitude hiking.
My understanding is that most people start to experience non-trivial altitude-induced physiological issues between 7000 and 9000 feet above the altitude where they live so by "low-altitude an am referring to anything "short muscles". In general both sports require muscle strength and endurance.
