Are you using the weights sessions to get stronger for swimming? Or are you just trying to get fitter? If you want to do both on the same day, do a good strength program first and then do sprint or interval training in the water (just like running or rowing). Otherwise split them up as swimming is generally an hour long activity so both on the same day would be too much imo.
