Hey guys and gals,
I have a quick question. I haven't swam rigorously since high school which was 4 years ago. I'm getting back into it right now, and my shoulders start hurting after doing just 2 100s. Is it just because I haven't used them in this manner in a long time? What can I do to swim longer without having this pain? I stretch a lot before working out, so that can't be it. Do I just need to keep swimming so that I can get used to it?
Thanks,
Greg
I'm suffering from a burnout phase, which you wouldn't expect from someone who's only been swimming about six months. I'm just tired of not making progress with my speed or stroke efficiency and not getting a good enough workout. I'm pretty stressed about something else that's not related to swimming, but I feel if I don't get back into the pool soon I'll lose any little bit of progress I did make over the last months.
