I'll be starting again next week after seven weeks off after my major hip replacement. My healing is much longer than usual - it was a complex surgery since I was born with arthritis hips.
What can I expect? I have a feeling flip turns are out. Will I be able I use my fins? Do breaststroke and fly?
I plan on cutting the workouts our coach puts up in half and seeing how that goes.
Anything else I should know?
Gordon Paul won the 100 Fly at the World Masters Games last year 8 months after his first hip replacement. He subsequently had the other one replaced in August. He's swimming Free, Fly and IM events at Nationals next month.
