well heres a little something

Well if this helps...(im no professional like alotta the guys on here but i have some knowledge)

Train your quads...quads...and quads... (not only quads but play a role a big one)

Exercises
- Squat
- Leg Press
- Knee Extension

Also another body part i would focus on working"would be your rotater-cuff muscles.
1. Almost all repetitive overhead activity will result in a chronic shoulder pain. (sister used to swim)

Exercises ( a few)
1. Lateral Raise
2. Military Press

those are the only workouts you do or do you do train chest and arms and what not??

(edit)

I had a kid in my high school...Wade King.....he missed the Olympic swimming team by one spot in 1988......he trained with us at our gym. He never focused on arms at all..................this kid really needs to do some sports specific research!!

i don't know how that kid did nothing with his arms? but thats what i need to do...

i have a killer kick, my legs seem to never get tired, probably becasue of all the running i do. but my arms are my weakspot. i not only need more stregnth, but i also need more mass so that i can catch more water if you know what i mean.

thanks to who ever posted the bi's and tri's, could you please explain to me what skull crushers and push downs are?

THANKS

what is your exact workout now???

He's trying to say you need more then arms dummy...115, my sister can do that. If you want pretty arms then just come out and say it. Do compound chest, shoulder, and back movements and you will be rewarded with bigger arms.

Foreman is saying that even if you think your damn legs are fine you still need to train them because that's going to help you swim better. So you can ask for help specifically on arms but the more experienced bodybuilders and athletes on these forums (not me, but I've read enough threads to predict what they're going to tell you) are just going to recommend a training routine that focuses on everything.
