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

I've heard that lat pull-downs and seated rows are good for swimmers. Of course if you have shoulder problems maybe not. I'm approaching it gradually with a reasonable amount of weight and reps and doing rotator cuff exercises with stretch cords, etc. as well, because I don't want to get an injury.
Everyone says squats are great but I'm not keen to try because I don't want to go hard on my knees. Maybe later if I build enough strength. My main focus is avoiding injuries and building strength, in that order.
