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

I honestly believe that it depends on the person. I absolutely can't swim when I weight lift. It ruins my swimming, but I have some kids (18+) that I work with that really benefit from weights. Again, for someone built like me who is already rather muscular I think that just some pilates and plyometric type stuff really does the trick. Thats just my opinion.
