  • My main goal is to not swim hurt. Meaning no hurt back, no dull achy pain, and certainly no sharp stabbing pain! No interest to "feel the burn" of aerobic sets soo...I never do 'em! No kidding! Injuries are the worst. If my shoulder is happy, I'm happy. More than 4x a week or mega-yardage and I won't be happy. I feel the same way about aerobic work for the most part; I'd just rather do fast stuff. 5000 yards of "recovery"?!?! Huh? Blech.
