I have been out of the water for all but 3 days of the last 10 weeks ith lower back problems. Back is finally feeling pretty good, and I've been able to lift some weights recently to try and get my upperbody strength back. I'm planning on swimming 50 free, 50 fly 50 back and maybe 100Free.
What should I do? Swim hard for a week and rest for a week? None of the events save for the 100 will be aerobic, so not worried about getting in yards so much. Just go work sprints, turns, stroke? Obviously can't do a taper since I've beenon taper for almost 3 months now!
Help!

Thanks Ande,
Back is much better, so starts aren't an issue. I have an FS-II backstroke suit, so I might wear that over my TYR tights, even for the free events.
Planning lift hard next week while protecting my back, and swim lightly every day.
The part of this that I can't figure out is that I went to swim at the SCY meet here in Dallas a few weeks back and went just .2 off my PBT in the 50 fly even though I hadn't touched the water or lifted in 5 weeks.
Go figure?
