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 believe both lifeguard and coach are incorrect.
Apart from oxygenation issues, mountain climbing, whether of the "uphill hiking, sometimes with a backpack" variety that I do or of the "technical climbing with ropes" variety, which I am about to learn, is SUPERB for core conditioning, strengthening, and overall body mobilization and toning. My swimming is much faster and easier after a week or two in the mountains.
I do not understand the comment about "relaxed" muscles for swimming. That's called floating. Generally, swimming hard - for fitness, competition, to make a time interval, or because you feel like it - requires ginning up the muscles. (Come on, baby, it's work time!) However, one doesn't necessarily clench the muscles. But swimming definitely puts a demand function on muscles.
