Should you swim with sore shoulders?

If you have some inflammation and discomfort in the shoulders from overuse, should you continue swimming to maintain ROM and some conditioning or do zero for a few weeks? This is for a HS swimmer who is coming back from a year off and went right into daily training.

  • I would say no on the hard stop. The body has to be able to adjust to stimuli. Just cutting everything off completely will more likely than not lead to the same issue down the line. Make sure he's doing prehab/rehab type stuff.
