In the past few weeks, I've been rowing after swimming, and I feel amazing. I feel more powerful in the water and can feel definite gains in upper body strength. However, I also have a bit more tension in the ligaments behind my knee, and I swim breaststroke (eek!) Does anybody else row? Does it effect your swimming? Any thoughts on how to either strengthen the knees or why I might be having tension?

Bad idea, good idea?
I don't know. I really don't think I use much of my shoulders. It is really your back you use and especially your legs. I coudl see that if you don't have good technique you might hurt them. But rowingis pretty easy.
