Although I read the post (and responses) by the girl who wanted to know about some free/back workouts because she was having to lay off of *** and fly for rotar reasons, I don't exactly have that problem...
In high school, we didn't have a "really" serious team and so I never learned how to fly, but I was told that I would not be a *** stroker and that at some point they would teach me butterfly (but then I didn't get the chance to swim again the next year).
However, I am a long-distance swimmer--I swam 500 and 1000 in high school and I'm now swimming 2000 and 2500 just to keep up my endurance (but really I work on form in the second thousand, really concentrating on making my strokes longer rather than allowing them to become choppy). I've also noticed that I don't really "kick in" until at least the 400 mark...I feel sluggish before that, like I feel when I sprint.
I'm concerned though about hurting my shoulder or sustaining some other type of injury. What dry-land exercises and drills would you all suggest and how often would you suggest them?
