Pull-ups are a great way to spice up a ho-hum swim set and target many of the swim-specific muscles. At the deep-end reach up and put your hands flat on the deck. Next give a little kick to get you moving and pull yourself up so that your arms are fully extended and your waist is at deck level. Now drop back down while keeping your hands on the deck (don't catch your chin or teeth on the way down). Repeat three to five times and resume swimming. Try this freestyle set using pull-ups: 4-8 x 100 freestyle on with 15 sec. rest between each, stopping at 75 of each 100 to do five pull-ups.
