I think I may have hurt my shoulder a little in practice today. We used parachutes for the first time (only for 4 half-laps), and my shoulder's been a little sore since then. I have a meet next weekend, so I want to make sure I don't make it worse. Knowing me, it'll probably be perfectly fine by tomorrow, but what can I do to make sure I'll be fine next weekend?
I usually find backing off alittle every other day tends to help me, since I have been swimming 6 days pre week since June. Sometimes adding fins can help to relieve some of the stress on the shoulders and help you to engage some muscles that are important but sometimes forgotton.
Good luck at your meet. I think I know the one you are going to. If you swim in the St. Nicholas meet I'll be there in December.
