cycling and swimming

At my school I do not have access to any ergs. We have a weight room, a pool, and stationary bikes. What workouts would you recommend doing using the available facilities?

Do you have a swim team at your school? I take it it's a college, so I'd find the coach and explain your situation. Competitive swimmers have to be in fantastic shape and this would go hand in hand with your rowing interest. How about lobbying for an erg for the weight room? I'd also try to find some help with some weight training instruction that should be available. You've actually got access to some good equipment...just take advantage of it.
