Everything we do is all about the technique. If the form is bad you hurt somewhere. In running its the knees or feet. In swimming it's the shoulders. I started having some pain in my shoulders after swimming, so I had Calvin take some video of me during the last portion of my workout, to see just what I am doing wrong.
Wow, a video is worth a thousand words. Not only is my head coming too far out of the water when I breathe in, but my left arm is completely straight. As I found out the hard way, this is apparently a no-no. But hey at least I'm sporting a purple TNT swim cap! Go Team!
As an aside my fundraising letters went out this week! Contact me if you want one and haven't received yours yet. This year instead of the lime green ribbon for active treatment of Lymphoma, I have included a purple ribbon for Lymphoma remission! God is good!
