Plyometric exercises, essentially most of those exercises you did as a kid at football or rugby practice, will benefit you in some way. The exercises would assist in keeping a better balance between cycling and non-cycling muscles thus reducing injuries. Doing the right exercises would also help strengthen the core, glutes & hip flexors.

Only into the pool when there is water in it and provided the water is of a pleasant temperature.

Can you illustrate plyometrics with some pictures/diagrams please.
