I like to swim and I can’t stop doing it. Once I get into the water it takes a long time since I get out. I had a shoulder injury in a car accident two months ago. I was unable to use my hand for some time. Now I am getting better and consider swimming again. What do you think about swimming and shoulder problems?

Well, if you are feeling better and can use your arm normally you can try. However, you have to start very, very slowly say, with a breast stroke. I mean slowly, like an old lady that is leisurely swimming. After some half an hour you should stop and see if there is any delayed reaction. If so, you are not ready yet. If not, you can continue for a longer period of time and then check again. Leave the front crawl for some time later. Above all, go and check with your doctor first. Then if he says that it is OK, you can think of visiting the local swimming pool.
