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

Thanks for the exercises! Those look helpful.
Yes, I do breathe to both sides regularly, although I favor breathing to my left (in a way, supporting myself with my stronger right arm). I'm pretty sure that's helped cause this problem. In practice, my breathing is probably 65 percent left, 35 percent right; at a meet or open-water race, the ratio is closer to 80/20. So there's definitely an imbalance. Maybe I should work on breathing just to my right for a few laps each workout?
