I'll start off by saying that I swim every day and this has never happened in the two months since I've started swimming again and it's kinda starting to tick me off. Anyways, I have this workout that I do everyday and when I first started it a couple of weeks ago I could do it all the way through with out any problems. Now when I do it about a quater of the way through my arms start to get really tired and feel like they are pulling through really thick water. I don't understand this. I stretch really good before and after, and usually a least once during my workout, I try and do dryland once a week, I strecth when I watch TV sometimes, and I have a steady kick the whole time so it's not like my arms are doing all the work. But for about the last week then my arms have been sore, both during and after the workouts. I usually just swim through the soreness I stretch when it comes and then make sure I strecth when it comes back. Any ideas about what's going on and how to make it go away:confused: ? Thanx!!!

Well, I took a couple days off...which was harder than I thought, it was hard to stay out of the water that long, but I got some studying done.... I even got a massage (highly recommended to all who have never had one, my life has been changed:p ) and my arms feel great! I got back in the pool today and it was great! I still strecthed, but I held the positions for only 2-3 seconds and then loosened my muslces. That seemed to be perfect. I mixed up my work-out, tryed some new drills, and I felt like my swimming has never been smoother. I'm definately gonna be working on keeping my muscles feeling like this and hope that my swimming stays this smooth! So I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the help that they gave ( and everyone should go get a massage:D )
Thanx again!!
