Title about says it all.
I just don't understand why I am so freakin sore WHILE swimming..esp BR in meets. It really sucks!
Any thoughts? Sign of being out of shape possibly?:weightlifter:
Any thing I can do to avoid this severe soreness?
Thanks guys!
Lactic acid. If you aren't used to it in practice, you won't be used to the feeling in meets. You need to do more all out sprints in practice. See if your coaching team coach can help you with those. And try to get some more protein in your diet at meets.
Thanks fellow swimmers. Okay. That makes sense. Being that I don't have a FREAKIN coach (can't you just feel the anger shooting through the computer? haha) I'm getting no advice.
Maybe sore isn't the term I'm looking for. More like an all over ache? Is there a difference? haha.
THANKS again!!!:D
I've never really been that "sore" from swimming....physically drained, tired, fatigued, etc. Things like weights, pullups, core, running makes me what I call "sore".

Yeah, I swim alone too.
Lactic acid build up (threshold training) hurts like a ***. But its not really what I call "sore" cause with a little easy warmdown it goes away (then the fatigue sets in!). But the more you train in that range the better you will tolerate it in meets.
