The best workout exercises for swimmers are those that target performance, strength, and power. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, which means swimmers must be cautious when choosing a dryland workout regimen and a trainer. The truth is many personal trainers are not swimmers and the exercises recommended will do more harm than good. Choosing to swim to get a workout is dramatically different than choosing a workout because you swim. If you are a competitive swimmer of any age, you must avoid dryland mistakes that will leave you prone to injury.
While it may sound productive to do a deep shoulder stretch to “loosen up the muscles,†it can cause injury. Deep shoulder stretches present themselves in a number of stretching methods. Remember this when working the shoulders: DO NOT EXTEND BEYOND NORMAL RANGE OF MOTION. If your shoulders are pulled behind you or above your head, don’t do it!
What to do instead: When you stretch your shoulders, try a door frame stretch.
