I am 7 weeks post-op after a hip replacement.Started back swimming by self after 6 weeks and the hip is feeling good in the water, although I have to maintain hip precautions such as bending, no flip turns and no frog kick.I am interested in the experience of others who have gone through this operation as to when they felt comfortable about going back to organized practices and competition. Also, when did they feel good about swimming breaststroke again (if ever).
Hi warner. Yes you will feel better & will do BR in the future. I have had my right hip replaced twice now & can do all strokes. It might have even made my poor bR kick better??!!.
By the way I was S C National champ 65+ in the 200 fly in Mesa, Az in 2011.
Stick with it & it will come back. Also --- you will have new "friends " at the airport from now on ! :badday::D:afraid:
