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!

Is it okay to do dryland and swim on the same day? Like can I swim in the morning and do weights in the afternoon, or will that just kill my muscles, or would it be good, since then I would be swimming everday and also strength training like twice a week?

I would lift and then swim if you can. My college coach had us swim and then lift and I don't think that it worked well for me. Besides, you sweat from the lifting and then, you cool off in the pool.
