You're a fool if you think these guys are ottermode or that a typical male could look like these guys.
Ottermode is basically average muscle (or perhaps less) with low body fat.
These guys have significantly more muscle than ottermode.
The guys have very long torsos, very long arms, very large ribcages, very broad shoulders. They are also very tall. It is bone.
did competitive swimming for 2years and was swimming 8 times a week doing about 16km each session, gym 2 times and yoga 1 a week.
achieved pic reltaed after about 8months - 1 year.

No. People with natural v-shape will succeed in swimming, the sports itself will not help with body transformation that much.
>all these replies
Swimming does not build significant muscle mass. A "swimmers body" is not achieved by swimming, but by regularly going to the gym.

>wide-grip
Do the opposite of what he's saying.

Started off as a skinny fat 5 years ago when I decided to try swimming in high school. Picked it up really fast, I was really good at butterfly naturally because I was strong. Now I'm a division 1 swimmer at college and I'm still making pretty good gains. All that cardio makes it hard to keep getting bigger after you reach a certain weight.

50back 25meter pool time?

Whats your distance average? What do you eat? Have you seen anyone with a similar body who only swims 2-3 times a week?
I used to swim for 11 years, stopped for a few and would like to add it to my routine because it got me in great shape once before. But I don't see myself doing more then 2000M 3 times a week at like a 1:15-1:30 100. So I wonder if I should lower my gains expectation.

I don't swim backstroke. But my 50 yard butterfly time is 21.6. My 50 meter long course butterfly is 24.8

I wouldn't expect to have a swimmers body swimming 2-3 times a week. I'm thinking at LEAST 5 times a week, but you won't have a body worth bragging about unless you're lifting 3-4 times a week on top of that.
Basically I eat as much as I can get in the priority of carbs >= protein > healthy fats. I also supplement protein, BCAAs, creatine around competition, fish oil, and multivitamin.
My training schedule is 5.5-8k, mostly aerobic but ~2k is anaerobic, 9 times a week. Lift 4 times a week (strength oriented tho). I train very hard, however my teammates follow this routine and not everyone's physique is necessarily impressive. If you want to look good I recommend swimming 1-2k aerobic to warm up real good, the probably about 1k of good sprinting on interval based sets. Obviously as you improve you can get it more sprinting for more gains
At elite levels, the sport selects for a body type: broad shoulders, V-taper, large hands/feet, long torso, short legs, etc.

Swimmers don't get the "swimmer's body" from training. They are swimmers because they were gifted with a swimmer's body. Genetics.
By not swimming
Lift heavy weights and do steroids. Like literally every professional athlete you've heard of.
>>35329168
my love is based purely on shoulder and pec size so left is best
Swimmers don't have legs
>>35328759
But you look terrible even with favorable lighting
