pull ups are a must!
pushups, (both regular, and with your feet on a chair for upper pecs.
military pushups for your deltiods, (basically a hand stand, come down, then push up. get up against a wall for balance.)
chair dips
crunches/leg raises

ill post more as they come to me...

Standard pushups, pullups (and go to the full DEADHANG for each), handstand pushups (on chairs to get more extension if you can, otherwise also military presses with a barbell), dips, rope climbs, Hindu pushups, work on planches, you can also get to one-armed PT, one-arm pushups, one-arm Hindu pushups (for the super-hardcore), one-armed pullups, one-armed handstand pushups, etc....just plain 'ole walking around on your hands is good too.

If your trying to get in shape for the swim team, why dont you start swimming? That will build your body up. Exercising doesnt get more sport-specific than that.

I was on a swim team for 3 years then quit for martial arts. When I get into high school in August I can Join the swimteam and water polo team. I recently joined a boxing gym.
