Hi there!
I'm new to this forum and I'm interested in asking you some questions.
I've read somewhere on the net that swimming trains pull muscles a lot so, to build a great body, swimmers complete the training with a push session in the gym. Is it true?
By the way, the question is the following:
Is possible to swim and to train with weights simultaneously?
I'll explain it better:
I go to swim three times a week and I was wondering if it's possible to complete the training with some exercises in the gym without overtraining.
I'll be clear: I'm not interested in becoming a great swimmer but I've read that swimming and gym can be very effective if you want to build a fit body!
If gym + swimming is possible, can someone redirect me to some "swimming + gym" training?
Thanks in advance for the advices!

Yes, it will help you swim faster and build a fit body. Are you talking about lifting weights immediately after your swimming workout? I think it depends on how you feel after you swim. Would you be energetic and ready for more exercise? It might help to eat a snack between the two workouts.
I like to do my weight workouts on a different day from my swimming workouts, so that I'm rested for both of them.
