I am on my 7th week of swimming. I am up to 4 times a week for 70 mins. I feel great. The inches are coming off and my endurance and strokes have improved.
But it seems I am always sore somewhere, whether it be my triceps, back, legs etc. I know I am overweight and getting into shape but boy there is not a day that goes by that I am not sore ( not in a bad way I don't think, other than my knees can be sore)
So those of you who have been swimming much longer than me, are you always sore to? Does this mean I am out of shape or just getting a good workout?
People who don't swim and hear that I am sore really don't believe me. I guess they think I am leisurely swimming the pool, not getting the awesome workout I am.
Cheers

Kathy it will probably ease...and then you'll feel bore of a dull ache through your shoulders and thighs after workout...well at least that's what I get. I don't get the pains I got from lifting; although if you do a lot of very fast work you might get more pain. I forget how long and to what extent you've been inactive up until swimming.
this thread reminds me of the joke:
"Do you smoke after sex?"
"I dunno, I haven't looked!"
