Swimming to Tone Up?
I'm wondering how much swimming it will take to stay nice and toned? My goal is to become "ripped" and I wanna incorporate some running and weights in addition to swimming and playing soccer. I used to swim but haven't swam in over a year now, recently started again and have had difficulty - took me almost 45 min to swim 1 k the other day. What kind of sets/workouts should I do for now to get back into regular swimming and then go a bit hardcore to firm up my whole body? Also, any dry land recommendations? I'm currently 170 lbs, 5'10".

RE: Swimming to Tone Up?
Try using swimplan.com to get a good set in. As you build up, you can make the sets harder and harder. I started using 6 months ago and slowly ramped up to my goal.
