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!

Yesterday I got injured on my left knee, I'm not sure if it is from the tough *** kick set I did yesterday or from the weight lifting...
The only thing I know is that I can't swim breaststroke, obviously including 200im and 400im which are my events
It hurts even when I push off the wall, and while stretching, not that much though. Well, I'm not doing any set that involves breaststroke for one week, also I have to change my weight's routine, and stop doing some stretches. :shakeshead:

Talking about the close relationship between fly and ***...Anyone have seen Erik Vendt's breastroke style???

He is almost flying; I don't like that style though, mine is closer to phelps style....
