I've been back in the pool for a few months now and am enjoying the workouts posted by various coaches. I was wondering about when to bring in some dry land work and also if weight/strength training should also be added to the mix and what types of work should be done. I've always lived by the thought that to improve in the pool one should work in the pool, but I know that can only get you so far. Thanks

Hi Old Navy
I was just talking to the best swimming coach I know and he said "Don't weight lift". He told me the only reason he introduced weight training to his swim program was that the University coaches would not give his swimmers scolarships to college if they did not do weight training. He said weight training ruins swimmers.
