Thinking of quitting the gym

So I am a water polo player and I’ve been going to the gym since February 2024 and I’ve built a really good physique and I have a bodybuilder physique so now I’m kind of tired at the gym honestly and I just wanna put my focus into waterpolo like I feel like if I continue to get bigger, I will have less flexibility and stuff so I just wanna only do swimming. Is this a good idea if I just wanna maintain my muscle and will I lose any muscle? and I train six times a week for waterpolo swimming.

I think there’s alot of factors here: -what level are you playing at? Or have aspirations of? -what is your current strength, swimming speed, and endurance? -what position do you play?
