Hey everyone. So recently, I was in a car accident and it injured my back and left leg pretty bad. I haven't been able to swim, or even hit the gym in a while due the pain I was in. I have been a swimmer most of my life. I was a competitive swimmer all through junior high and high school. I also swam in a swim club in college. I just turned 32 and I haven't swam though for just over 6 months, and I'm finally ready to dust off my Speedos and to start swimming again. I live in Arizona, so I can do swimming year round hear and not worry about the weather. Just wondering though what kind of swimming workouts should I start up again after not swimming for 6 months? I don't want to start out with an extremely intense workout and then injure my back and leg again. What workouts would you guys recommend for a guy who's 6 foot and 185 pounds, but hasn't been swimming for over 6 months. I'm hoping to start swimming again on a daily basis like I used to, but for now my doctor doesn't want me to swim more than days a week for the time being. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

    Go into the workouts thread and look at the one for Expectant Mothers and Limited Mobility (I think that's what it's called). It's a great place to start getting back into shape and you can even modify these for your abilities post-accident. I hope you're able to recover soon! Thanks. I’ll definitely do that. I hope I can recover soon. Tonight after work will be the first time I’ll be back in the pool, so we’ll see.
