Try Pilates Apparatus Classes and see how much faster you will swim!
The flexibility combined with power necessary in a swimmer’s shoulder is unparalleled in any other sport. Thus the rate of overuse injuries in the swimmer’s shoulder is great. A pilates workout can strengthen the rotator cuff and serratus anterior for shoulder stabilization so that the Pectoralis Major, Triceps and Latissimus Dorsi are free to propel the body through water.
Then of course there is the power necessary in the kick. The illiopsoas and other hip flexors must have enough flexibility so the Hamstrings and Glutes are available to the kicking swimmer. And for the protection of the back the core must be strong.
Smiles & Success: Client Reviews That Say It All:
I'm addicted to all the classes and teachers here. I started Pilates while recovering from a serious back injury. Katrina took the time to get to know my body and my goals, and came up with a routine that was safe and more effective than any PT I'd tried. I improved so quickly, and was able to move on to more challenging things to build and maintain my strength, flexibility, and balance. There are options available for lots of different price points, schedules, and learning personalities (focused solo attention or more social group interactions). I've now had sessions and classes with almost all the instructors, and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone.
