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.
Wide muscles ??? Bones do not get wider!!
Completely agree! I was born with wide (and painful) shoulders, according to my mother. When I took a 40 year break from swimming I lost my bulk and had the shape of a pear. Since re-entering the aquatic world, I've resumed my hulky appearance. Shoulders are a genetic but muscles on top of those shoulders make us look big.
