Some Stretching Exercises

 Hi all

We’ve all noticed elite swimmers limbering up and stretching before they race, but we usually don’t do it ourselves. However, a good warm-up and appropriate stretching can help our shoulders and neck stay healthy, and perhaps improve our flexibility in the right way.

Here’s a link to a great article about warm-ups and stretches designed to reduce the chance of shoulder injury in swimmers.

I strongly recommend you give it a read. The warm-ups are quick and simple to do before you get in the water; and the stretches (best done at another time) don’t take long.”

Cheers
