Oh, HELP. I am a lifelong swimmer haven't competed since 1993 but do 1.5 miles a couple of times a week at the fitness center. My left shoulder (breathing side) tends to get sensitive towards the end. I know this is because I am breathing every stroke. Any advice about how to wean myself off this disgusting lazy habit? I know it would be better for my stroke (and my workout, and my overall time) but I just get so oxygen hungry! Comments appreciated!

  • There are a few snorkels where I swim. I've tried them a couple times but always wind up taking them off after a 50 because they are so painful. Am I missing something? Painful how?I have no pain problem with mine(except for the one I kept using after the rubber on the holder wore out and it was hard plastic rubbing against my head.)
