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

    Yesterday afternoon during practice I was practicing an early catch and high elbow position while doing 50m free sprints and it struck me that my forearms were starting to ache. Firstly is my technique good that this is happening, and secondly, if it is good then surely I should be doing exercises to build up my forearms for strong sprinting. Apologies if this is an extremely elementary question! Syd My forearms burn when I sprint breaststroke, so I'm curious also whether this is a sign of solid technique or something that might need to be adjusted.
