I still vividly remember the day I injured my back during my freshman year of college. As a team, we were all in the weight room for the first time since our mid-season meet.  I recall picking up the weights bar for a deadlift and feeling intense pain travel all the way down through my toes. The pain alone was hard to bear, but finding out I had a bulging disc in my back and would need to take significant time out of the water to recover was enough to make me question my swimming goals.
Swimming is not a sport that requires physical contact and is not typically strenuous on the joints. However, during my swimming career I have encountered teammates, close swim-friends, and other swimmers with injuries.
Due to the very nature of our sport, we want to get back in the water as soon as possible to keep improving. However, in the case of injuries, this mentality can prolong an athlete’s recovery period. It is important to let the body heal and to come up with a plan for recovery.
