I am new to distance swimming and I absolutely love it!!! My fear is injury and not being able to train at a high level. So my question, for allthe experienced distance swimmers, how do you take care of your body to prevent injury? Supplements, additional training, therapies, etc.
Thanks for the responses. My chirporactor had mentioned doing exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles, but he didn't elaborate. I had seen on the should injury forum a link that appeared to be very helpful to solve that problem. I am very interested in the Pilates and Yoga aspect, so thank you for those suggestions!!! While sad I swim at a gym pool, at least they offer these classes :) so I will checking their class schedule next!!!
