Hey :) I just started swimming again( I quit for a long while..). The stroke I am best at is backstroke. What tips do you have for someone just starting out again? Thanks :)
Swim a lot! It will suck at first when you feel out of shape, but just keep working hard in practice (if you’re on a team). Do some long easy sets at first, and then gradually push yourself so you’re out of your comfort zone. You got this!
I am very nearly (whispers) 40! Any other older swimmers around? I swim 4-5 times a week both indoors and in the sea love it!!
Followers, anyone?
How lucky that you're so close to the sea!
I just stumbled onto your blog love it! im from a small town in the middle of montana which is in no way condusive to a successful swimming career. The only available option for swimming for huundreds of miles is our local summer swim team which practices in a broken down pool for two months in the summer. I swim top in our federation with relatively good times. i was wondering how i could possibly attract the attention of colleges and what times would be needed to swim at that level, thanks!
Send college coaches lots of emails and fill out their recruiting forms online, if they have them. And the times will vary, that's a question for the coaches. The website CollegeSwimming is a good resource to find results from college meets to see how you would do as part of their team.
and Montana sounds beautiful, I'm jealous!
Hi! I'm a 15 years old girl, and I've been swimming for 4 years (2 years like seriously) and my time on 50free is 28.55, is that okay?
It's alright, you'll probably get a lot faster if you keep swimming!

Is it hard to get into a d3 school for swimming?
Depends on your times and the school. Some D3 schools have intense programs, others not as much. D3 schools don't give athletic scholarships so it really comes down to if you can get into the school academically.
actually i havn't been swimming at all, and it's been a month now, i went and got an x-ray and it showed that there's no injury at all. they think i'm just very loose jointed and should spend the next month building up muscle in my shoulder
i see. definitely do rotator cuff exercises with bands, horizontal cuban presses just working on pulling your scaps down, and YTW letter holds. google those if you don't know what they are, or if you can go to a PT, they can give you things to do too.
I'm a 16 year old girl. Is a 28.68 50free good?
it's good for long course. probably a little below average for short course.
hey, i tore something in my left shoulder 3 weeks ago and whenever i rotate it, it's been making this popping noise. If i work it too much then it starts to hurt. I've heard this is pretty a fairly common injury among swimming, do you know of it? (i think it's a labral tear, or something) Whats the quickest way to recover it so i can get back in the water? (i've been to 2 different doctors and they said just ice, pain killers, and rest, but it's been 3 weeks and not much improvement)
complete rest, and take a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aleve. two in the morning and two at night. ice too like your doc said. it won't heal if you keep doing anything with it. rotator cuff rehab exercises may be useful to strengthen it. if it's been 3 weeks with you icing and swimming on it, then it probably still hurts cause you're still using it. if not...sometimes it takes more than a couple different doctor visits to figure out what's really happening. good luck! I know it's really hard to do the "complete rest" thing but it will be worth it in the end when you come out stronger.

Here's a sprint workout by Coach Ronald Hehn of Concordia College in Minnesota.
You should check out Ronald Hehn's weekly workouts on swimmingworldmagazine! Very helpful and thorough for experienced swimmers.
Thanks! I'll post one in a bit, and Concordia too.
I swim a 27/26 sec 50 free & I want to go to rollins .... Any advice ? I'm a guy btw
Do you swim year round? Join a club team if you don’t. If you’re local, message me off anon and I can give you a couple good clubs. Lifting helps too. That’d be slow for a girl so you want to get it down (ideally) to 22. A great 50 free time for a D1 guy is around 19-20, but you can get by in division II with 21-22.
