What would be the best thing to before my swimming training session?

i have only just started after 6 years and need to build up my stamina?

What would be the best thing to before my swimming training session?
Run, Bike, and lift. Running will build up your lungs and work your Hamstrings and glutes and even muscles in the lower back are prime movers. Biking is diffrent. Even if you only cycle a few miles per day your muscles will feel and look stronger. The main muscle groups used when cycling are the upper thigh muscles (quadriceps); the backside muscles (gluteus maximus), and, to a lesser extent, the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus). And lifting will build up you muscle bulge. Also the runnign and biking will build up your lungs. As a year round swimmer i am always cross training to stay at the top of my game.
Reply:Any general conditioning program would be good, but swimming itself is a good conditioning program in and of itself. Just do it, as they say. Start off slow and easy at a comfortable pace. Gradually increase the time spent swimming; add in speed work only when you feel you are at a reasonably fit level. Concentrate just on building up comfort and endurance at first. My old swim coach always said that the best training for swimming is swimming, and I believe that too!
Reply:Any general exercise to get fit. Swimming would really be the best as it can be at your own pace and it works pretty much all the muscle groups. Apart from that, you would really need to do a range of exercises that work all your muscles, as well as cardio work to make sure you are completely ready.
Reply:drink water that will hydrate yourself
