My shoulders have healed and now I'm ready to get back to swim practice. I've done physical therapy and massage therapy. I'm ready to get back and really practice hard with everyone. I was planning on training 4 days this week but, the doctor said no that is risking another tear in my shoulder, what do yall think? Signed, Swimminggirl :) p.s. This is me laughing at the doctor! :lmao::lmao:

I'm not able to practice due to a torn muscle in my shoulders due to over doing it at the swim meet and training 5 days a week. Signed, Swimminggirl p.s. Advice would be appreciated! Swimminggirl, Sorry to hear about the torn shoulder muscles. The first thing I'd suggest would be to let your shoulders heal completely. Earlier you mentioned running, you might be able to run while you're shoulders are getting better (I'd consult the advise of your family doctor first). Once your shoulders get better to where you can start some rehab exercises then I'd say focus on drill work in the pool. I don't think enough can be said about how far excellent technique will take you, and drill work is best done when your not trying to "build the engine". Finally, if you have access to a swim coach then have them look at your stroke and point out corrections. If you can get videotaped then that can help, even if it's above water (underwater is awesome, but not easy to have done). Look up exercises for the rotator cuff and muscles that help stablize the shoulder. That's about all I can think of. Again, check with your coach and doctor first.

I don't know if you saw me or not. I have alot of improving to do! My dad took pictures and video and, I need alot of improvement. When I heard who my competition was it threw me off and caused me to lose focus. Oh well, hopefully I will do better the next swim meet. Sincerely, Swimminggirl

The swimmeet went very well. I didn't do as well as hoped I would. I hope to do better next time. I just wasn't focused today. When I heard who my competition was it threw me out of wack and made me stop focusing and really nervous. Good job today everybody. Sincerely, Swimminggirl Swimminggirl, sorry to hear you didn't do as well as you'd like. I think I was in the same boat, in that I swam about as fast as I did last year and was expecting at least a couple seconds of improvement. Oh well. Good luck with your next meet. :banana:

Well…I was going, but my wife tells me I should gracefully bow out and concede defeat. :whiteflag: However, my kids are telling me that I need to race, especially my oldest because she likes it when I win. :wiggle: So, I've paid my money, and we're going. I'm probably not in as good of shape for the meet that you are, as the only running I do is at the nose. But it should be fun just the same.

Greetings swimminggirl, There'll be at least one other swimmer there. I just got my entry in the mail today. Won't be doing any meets in July but hopefully I'll get to go to nationals in August. Also, I swam in Tulsa's cinco de mayo meet earlier in May and I think a few folks mentioned they'd be coming over from OK.
