I like the band swim and ball slam exercises. It seems like the swimming motion exercises mainly help strengthen the recovery since the stroke portion of the motion has no resistance from gravity as the arm is moving down.

your observation that the swim-simulation with no or light weights focuses on recovery motions is spot on. in fact, i propose that while it is powerful to work the propulsive actions and connections, it is also very beneficial to play with recovery actions and use safe ranges of motion to produce fatigue in those aspects of the shoulder girdle. if we move and train the same way all the time we may be stronger and better in that motion (that can be good) but we may miss opportunities for muscular and structural balance and fail to enhance sustainability of sport actions if we do not play with complementary / recovery actions. so yes, i do a lot of complementary / recover action because I know it can be good to feel it on land and because we can promote joint complex fitness that promotes sustainability. thank you for your input. have fun. be safe. stay fit.
