I'd hate this to be my first post! Moreover, i knew this has been discussed many times before.. but the threads are so many it's hard to find what I want!
I am an amateur 34yr old swimmer doing 3 times a week training program for the last three months..
Eventually as i increased pace and program, i started having swimmer's shoulder pain.. I do more freestyle swimming and try to variate pace/prgram every while.. I do about one hour and some 2.5km per session with many combinations.. (hope my calculations are right!)
My question is:
1) should i quit for a while till the shoulder pain goes away
2) should i continue lightly and do shoulder exercises
3) is it necessary to see a doctor/..
Other comments really appreciated!
Thanks,
wael
Turn the palms of your hands in toward your body instead of out. That means last 2 or 3 fingers enter first on freestyle instead of the thumb. For backstroke, if you lift your arm with the palm turned in (right hand facing left,etc), you'll enter with your little finger first as a result of the body turn. You don't have to swivel your arm at all.
