I really need to do dryland. I don't do any right now except for shoulder exercises and the occasional sit-up (I tend to count my job as a server at a busy restuarant as my dryland...not good). So I was wondering what everybody else did for their dryland and how often you do it? I need some ideas to help with just general strength training to help my speed. I swim about 2000 yds everyday (I'm upping this too) and I'm still pretty slow (and I'm trying to at least make qualifying times for a meet even if I don't have too), so I figured I really do have to do some strength training at this point. Thanx a bundle!

You may try some light weight, high rep weight training to strengthen back muscles, lats, triceps and abs (all pretty important swimming muscles). Rows (back), pull downs (lats), reverse curls (triceps) and crunches (abs) hit these areas. Come to think of it, maybe I'll try some.
