Wowzers. I can hardly move my arms. We are doing doubles everyday for the past 2 weeks. I'm a sprinter and a butterflyer...and we've been pounding out 50/100/200s sprint for 14 days or 28 practices. My legs are busted...from doing squats/deep knee bends/wall sits/ jump rope/ weight lifting/treading water/kicking...and my arms are exhausted.
What do you all do to loosen up and deal with the soreness?! I really like those bengay patches. They work wonders...and stretching in a warm shower.

For me it's always been either massages (which I agree...Love Love Love) or just more swimming. But by more swimming it's not really doing a work out as much as doing a warm-up/loosen-up time in the pool. 15-20 minutes just working it all out and stretching my muscles.
Of course if you're continuing to do doubles then there probably isn't much more time or anything you'd love better than to hop in the water some more. So go for the massage route.
