I've got massive rotator cuff tear. DR. suggests a reverse shoulder replacement. Will I still be able to swim afterward? If anyone out there has been through this surgery I'd like to know how it impacted your swimming. I'm a 66 year old male who has been competing for 12 years.
You should maintain close communication with your doctor to determine the best time to return to the pool. When you are able to get back into the water after the surgery, your focus should be on developing total body strength. You should also be sure to get your technique analyzed once you are ready to start training again. This is extremely important to keep your joints in good shape and avoid injuries.
