I am new to this forum and looking for some advice/help.
I have been away from competitive swimming for almost 10 years now. I haven't even been in a pool for lap swim due to the fact that I was in a very rural area of VT with no pool access. Now that I am back home in Buffalo with a LMSC, I would like to return back to competition. I recently discovered USMS after some Internet browsing and was immediately intrigued. I never knew this organization existed. After scanning through the website and forum, it got my competitive juices flowing again. I was a competitive swimmer from a little tyke to college and am very excited and motivated to get back in the pool.
I am looking for some tips and ideas for returning to competitive form. I was a butterflyer and have some shoulder issues. I want to ease back into it without getting hurt. I am looking for some exercises to help strengthen my shoulders before pushing myself too much.
I would appreciate any diet/nutrition advice. I kind of let myself go the last couple of years.
Also, I will be in a location with no LMSC but access to a pool for about 5 months and am looking for workouts that I can do.
Any help you could give me would be outstanding. Thanks!!!!
