    Exclamation Swimming While Cutting, Muscle Loss?

    Guys I have an interesting question. I've been mild bulking for 6-7 months and now I was thinking of joining swimming alongside gym because the swimming pool is just attached to my gym. So I can just finish my gym workout and get in the pool for an after-workout cardio session. But I was wondering, would that make me lose strength/muscle mass, considering the fact that I'm going to swim daily for an hour.

    I know that doing too much cardio would be bad for the gains. So at first I just decided to drop this plan. Then I thought, what if I still eat the normal amount of calories that I do currently, while Bulking (I'm not bulking VERY hard, just eating 300-500 calories more than usual). Would I still lose muscle?
    After all I'm still eating in a surplus...

    What if I just don't cut and instead get into maintenance along with swimming after the gym. Would that be good for me?
    I'm confused. Someone help me out.

    I'm 23 and I can't combine cardio and the gym, because my muscles get hammered after an intense workout
