First of all, do you want strength and mass, or cutting? It's one or the other and the workout depends on which you choose.

Here's a sample of what you could do for cutting with working out 4 days a week:
Day 1
Dumbbell bench press - 2x12
Cable flyes - 2x10
Incline dumbbell bench - 2x12
Tricep pushdown w/ triangle - 2x12
Skull crushers - 2x12
Bench dips - 2x15
Shrugs - 4x10 vary with dumbbell and barbell
I would throw some pushups in too wherever you want.
Follow this up with your choice of cardio - bike, elliptical, run etc. 20 minutes or so good intensity
Day 2
Swim - I love swimming and realize many people don't have great endurance, so do what you can and know that you will get much better with some hard work.
Day 3
Lat pulldown - 2x15
T-Bar row - 2x12
Dumbbell row - 2x12
Arnold press - 2x15
T-raises (front raise over to lateral and back) - 2x15
Incline dumbbell curl - 2x15
Cable curls - 3x10
Again do some cardio
Day 4
Running with sprint intervals - There are a ton of options for this so just choose whichever one seems best for you whether it be a pyramid or just alternates.
Abs can be done on any day for just a little bit, even on non-workout days.
This is a just a possible guide. Let me know if you have any questions.
