I have a lazy right arm. I drop my elbow during recovery and I can't seem to fix it.
What can I do or think when I swim to make it better.
I also breathe to one side..the left..could this be the problem?
Any tips?
Can you please explain or expand or give examples why that is the case?
Simple. You aren't propelling yourself during the recovery.
Why did Janet Evans have multiple shoulder injuries if she has had a good underwater stroke technique for a long time?
I don't recall Janet having lots of shoulder problems, but if she did, why do you assume the problems were caused by her recovery?
edit: here's an interview with Janet where she specifically says she's never had shoulder injuries: www.insidesocal.com/.../q-and-a-with-ja.html
To wit: Q: How in the heck have you managed to avoid a major injury for so long? What's the secret?
A: In my sport, any shoulder injury - that's it. For me, my stroke doesn't put a lot of pressure on the shoulders.
