Hi all of you swimmers out there. I am a 66 year old female competitive swimmer and will have a total hip replacement next month. I would love to hear from any of you with info re if and how this surgery altered, impeded, helped your swimming, especially *** stroke sprinting. At present my hip has cut down on my swimming drasticallyand I would love to train hard again and compete in hte next Short Course Nationals. I would really appreciate any response. Thank you Susanne

    Hi dear Rob, Micheal and M- thank you so very much for your replies, support, advice and good wishes. What a treat to have a community out there I can write to and get a response within 24 hours. I so appreciate it. One more question I have is how about flipturns and starts? Not so important in open water but very important in sprinting. How long did it take you bionic people to do a good start? Thanks again and best to you Susanne
