Swimming as cardio while on cycle?

[Chicago Made]

I would think swimming would be the best cardio to do on or off cycle, but I was wondering what some of you guys thought.

My thinking was I wouldn't want to over-train my muscles while swimming (depending upon what I worked out the day or so prior). Do you think it would effect gains much, if any?

There's also the fact of being on cycle (Test Cyp, 600mg/wk).

Any thoughts? Feedback would be much appreciated!

Not sure on cycle as Ive never done any hard gear, but I swim a lot when possible. Its for sure one of the best cardios. It does make your upper body sore though, same as lower if you swim long distance. If you dont want to overtrain your upper body, would need to take it easy and maybe just run or do something else.

Anybody else have a take on swimming and over-training?

Would much appreciate some more feedback/personal theory or experience etc.

Thanks!

I would think it would be a great idea

it excercises every muscle in the body, the swimming may strengthen muscles you aren't hitting in the gym.

i think swimming would be one of the best things you could do in my opinion. its a great workout, no impact, and it stretches the muscles as well. as for over training i wouldn't worry about that any more then you would with other types of cardio. if I'm wrong someone please let me know soon because that's all i have been doing lately!
