As for weights I try and do what the magazines say, but I could be really having some hard time with form. I usually do 5 sets of 12 reps at 5lbs of bicep curls, tricep things (where you put the weight behind your head and push up), the thing where you put your arms in a T position and lower and raise...then I do squats and lunges.
My mom always said that swimming made your arms too big (i.e. football player...this is really what she refered to it as) so I never really swim only when I have to. Also being in the sun is bad for your skin so I stay away from harmful UV rays whenever possible.

lol. I don't know about that football player theory...Swimming does define your back but I'm not a die hard "hardcore" swimmer so I don't think I'll bulk up like the Hulk. As for the sun... I usually swim only at night:updown
