I’ve been using the chirp RPM for recovery and it’s been super nice not having to manually roll out! It’s a great option for those who are tired after practice but still want to get their recovery in! #ad @gochirp taken in Coronado Island by @nickmaa

Shoulder injuries are really common for swimmers. So instead of stretching… here are some pre-swim shoulder activation exercises I do before I get the in the pool 🤙🏽💥

1) External band rotations

This exercise is used to strengthen the rotator cuff to create more stability in the shoulder joint.

It can also improve the biomechanics of the shoulder joint or glenohumeral joint.

2) High elbow catch

This banded exercise activates my forearms and lats, a huge component of the breaststroke catch.

I like how it works all the small muscles as well.

3) Internal band rotations

External shoulder rotations strengthen your rear delts as well as infraspinatus, and teres minor, two other rotator cuff muscles that stabilize your shoulder blades.

Stable and strong shoulders are super vital to staying injury free and powerful in the pool 💪🏽

Save this for your next swim ✅

Did you know that foam rolling properly can help improve flexibility, increase blood flow, and reduce muscle soreness?

By applying pressure to specific points on your body, foam rolling helps to release tension and break up adhesions in your muscles.

So, if you’re looking to recover faster and perform better, make sure you’re rolling out those muscle knots properly 🏋️‍♀️💪
