Hi all! I am very greatful for all tips from all of you on how to avoid groin injuries from swimming breaststroke.:toohurt: I am 37 years old and have been swimming masters now for 3,5 years after a 16 year long break from competitive swimming. I have recently (6 months ago) started to train breaststroke more seriously than before (did IM and fly in the past) but noticed that I was more competitive on the breaststroke than on the other strokes and thought I would give it a go. My times from last year are 31.2 seconds on 50m *** and 1.09.1 on 100m...I believe I have good potential to lower those times considerably, especially on 100 since I did those times without any previous breaststroke training at all....if I just could get rid of those groin injuries that is... I train 5-7 swimming practices a week and 1-3 weightlifting practices a week. All tips are highly appreciated!:notworthy: Thx! /Per
