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!

Well I would do the weighttraining before my swim workout if I have no other chance than swim and weighttrain the same day.
After swimming I'm not able of completing my strength training programm. It's just too hard than.
So I find it easier to do the weight training before swimming. But you should be aware of your muscles then. It's likely that your weaker muscles could cramp druing swim (happend to me - that's why I try to avoid strength training and swimming all the same day).
