I do too, specially squating. But this is what my instructor has planned for me and he has a lot of experience regarding this subject. This article has interesting points regarding this matter:

Bodybuilding.com - Jason Lezak - Weight Training For Sprint Swimmers!

"Getting the most out of the gym means being smart and not doing exercises that put a lot of stress on the knees and back such as power lifting exercises. That is why I do not do any squats, cleans, or dead lifts."
