Swimmers Weight Training
If you look at any Olympic swimmer the first thing youll notice about them, (apart from theyre semi-naked) is just how built most of them are. Swimming, although low impact, requires a huge amount of muscular strength. Its one of few physical sports that utilizes almost if not all of the muscles in the body. Swimmers often add weight training exercises such as squats, leg presses and lat pull downs to improve both the quick bursts of strength and the muscle endurance necessary to perform any specific stroke at speed.
