John wants to become a better swimmer. So, he lifts weights three times a week, runs four times a week, and bicycles once per week. Is John using the principle of specificity? Why or why not?

No because his workouts aren’t directly connected to being a better swimmer, he’s doing general exercises not ones that specifically go with swimming. If John wants to improve as a swimmer he should do more swimming, core and leg exercises as those directly correlate with swimming
