I searched the forum prior to this post - nothing really seem to come up.
So just wondering what type of additional training people are doing when you are NOT swimming. (god forbid!)
Myself - i do 3 things
Surfing
Cross Country Skiing (double poling)
Weightlifting
All seem to benefit swimming, especially the lats get a good going over and a bit of core strength.

Lots of good discussion on cross-training:

It's always a bad hair day when you work at a pool.
I reckon the swimming gains from the surfing specially the catch/ pull muscles and feel for the water - in regards to daily mileage 1hour surfing = 1km swim. Now that's an ACTIVE hour not just sitting around on the board.
