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.

This is pretty obvious...just keep stretching, drink lots of water and I highly recommend bananas to keep your muscles form cramping up. Stretching hurts when you're that sore, but when your range of motion doesn't shrink on you from building that muscle it'll really help you in your swimming.
