Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.
Some questions for the ladies:
1. Is everyone wearing their wedding/engagement ring(s) during practice or meets?
2. Anyone tried oil of oregano for congestion? A friend recommended this to me recently.
3. Anyone had a nagging hip injury? Dr. Jimby says these can take awhile to fix. Mine's been dragging on for almost 4 weeks now. I think I hurt it with over stretching and hard kicking, but I'm not sure.
4. Anyone tried any of the new speed suits: Xterra or Renegade by AquaZone? I was wondering if they fit better than the B70. There seems to be a lot of women who have trouble getting the B70 up high enough in the crotch. Maybe the thigh area is too small?
5. For chicks that are lifting, if you take time off from weights, does it take awhile to get back to your previous level? I have this notion that it takes women longer to build muscle and that we can lose it more easily ... but this could be false.
I take off my wedding/engagement ring and the ring that I wear on my right hand as well. I had several settings break and I almost lost my diamond several times before I was told that chlorine eats at gold and white gold. Since then, no problems with the setting. I keep the 2nd wedding band on, though.
Sorry, I have never tried oregano. How would you take it?
Nor have I had a nagging hip injury.
I haven't tried any of the newer tech suits. Mine is still circa 1996 :)
When I take time off, it takes me about 2-3 weeks to feel back to where I was. I think the average person loses the muscle in 2 weeks. Or so I have been told. Not sure if that is different for women or not.
