So, I just got back into swimming after a shoulder surgery (and about 6 years).
My surgery was a simple (if any shoulder injury could be simple) tightening of the "sheeth" that encompasses your shoulder itself. So I have limited movement. I have noticed that there are techniques that I'm going to have change and fix.
Anyone come back into swimming after a shoulder surgery and have some advise of things to help, techniques to change, and stregthening that might work? I'm just trying to skip most of the trial and error if someone's already done that for me. :)
Lisa, kick-based training is a great idea, but kickboards are also hard on your shoulders.
So true! I get around this problem using a FINIS swimmer's snorkel, which allows me to kick while in a streamline position when using a kickboard. No more shoulder strain. :D
