Swim Tips? (asthma & shoulders)

[tribogota]

Right shoulder, mine hurts too sometimes swimming but recently discovered when my internet was out for 2 weeks that IT stopped hurting...I think a lot of arm shoulder pains are mouse behaviour...

One other thought about swim coaches - I had swimming in college, and as I recall, the coach was one of the coaches for the 1968 US Olympic team. Anyway, I never could do the front crawl very well. Took Coach to reteach us how to do it right, or more correctly, more efficiently. Not that I was ready to join the University swim team, but it was no longer my least favorite stroke. I still remember the difference in his method and what I learned at the city pool when I was a kid. And there was a marked difference in the stroke. But, I never mastered butterfly, but then he didn't try hard to make us learn that one either.

So, I'm all for finding a swim coach, it is possible to swim and breathe at the same time. You still may need to work with your doctor to make certain your meds are right.
