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, you can do both. Although I'm not sure about simultaneously ;)
I never swim before lifting, always after. Swimming is such a great way to loosen up that it makes sense to swim last. On days when I lift and swim, the weightlifting is usually my main focus for the day, with the swim being a recovery workout.
I almost never do any ab work in the gym. Dolphin kicking with fins is my favorite way to target abdominals, especially back dolphin.
