It's often said swimming makes your shoulders wider, perhaps breaststroke and butterfly in particular? Are there any real swimmers here who can confirm this with their personal experience?
If true, what length of time and intensity of swimming did it take to result in such changes? I suspect this can happen only to competitive swimmers.
Back in the old days of 20k training, there was not a suit in the store that would fit - only blazers and separates. Even those required surgery.
Now, 17 1/2" x 35 shirts, always baggy around the waist unless I can luck into the "athletic cut" dress shirts.
44 long suits, but the pants are usually too big in the waist - so I'm working on that. Still. :drink:
I find the muscle mass gloms onto the delts, traps and collarbone-shoulder area most regularly with swimming and related weight training.
