I just graduated from high school and I concentrated on distance running during high school, I did swim my senior year however. Since I don't have fast enough times to be considered for a college scholarship and I had constant injury problems when I do seriously train for running I've decided to take some time off running and concentrate on swimming.
I'm not a total beginner as I swam this past winter with the team, about 4000-5000m a practice. I was a mediocore freestyler and did fly a few times during competition. I was better at middle distances. I don't know if middle-distance swimmers swim any differently than sprinters like in running but how should I train if I was going to compete in the longer events?? What can I do to strengthen my shoulders so they're not sore, I imagine a weak rotary cuff is the culprit???
