I use to swim for many years and often do triathlons, however after a stroke of a year ago I still have not regained enough strength to swim much more than 2 or 3 laps without being tired.. Would a coach help or swim lessons of some sort help? Or would attending a total immersion workshop help? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...
I think a coach or instruction would help. Having someone who can can give you feedback as to body position and drills to strengthen the weaker portions of your strokes should help. I do not know enough about total immersion to say one way or the other, but any input should help.
Good luck!
I had profound weakness and was prescribed a beta blocker at the time. It definitely is not right for exercising. Beta blockers work by keeping your heart rate low. This is bad; you want it to go up when you exercise. Ask your doctor to prescribe something else. Mine did and I swim a lot now.
