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

Thanks for the input. One of the guys I swim with lifts a few times each week, light weight with high reps, to get through plateaus in time improvements. I've never been a lifter and have been feeling stronger just by working in the pool lately. I think I'll stick with just swimming that for a while. BTW Geochuck, I was in Vancouver just last week. You come from a beautiful part of the world.
Just keep swimming,
Pat
