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!

Last year I went MWF swim, Tu-Th weights/cardio (sometimes Sat swim OR Gym), always Sun rest. I did this until January and start of SCY season then went to swim M,Tu,Th,F with weights/cardio only on Weds and some Sats.
Worked out pretty good for me. Since I'm not much for SCM, I'm gonna probably follow the same routine this year.
