Hi All, Ive been getting back into swimming after a long time off. My right shoulder feels a bit weak right now. I'm wondering what I can do to strengthen it? Cheers, AJ

Also, I have a very nice medicine ball that I bought last year and has been collecting dust in my closet ever since. Does anyone have any good specific medicine ball exercise recommendations? It's been about a decade since I used one with my swim team, and I don't remember much aside from tossing it to one another.
Any quirk in the stroke might lead to more stress on one arm than the other. Have you ever tried alternate breathing?
It'll balance your stroke out because it tends to make you swim with more symmetry.
Learning how to breath on both sides is also a nice advantage in freestyle racing...when you want to get a glimpse of the competition.
here's some core work ideas...and with a medicine ball...
