Do not take a WARM bubble bath.. for swimmers Icing sore muscles is really the best option... try icing and maybe winter green oil mixed with baby oil (unless this is part of your taper workout) winter green is the stuff in iceyhot that makes the hot feeling.. its good for your mucles :) but it you don't dulute it it can get painful..Is there a website with all the triathlons in Texas?
I was just reading in Men's Health Magazine that a study found that calesthetics was a better way to loosen up your muscles than stretching.Where can I buy obselete S.T.A swimming badges?still looking!?
this sounds kinda gay, but a hot bubbly bath helps a lot.I hate swimming but my friends lv it?
your muscles get sore because of damaged muscle membranes, and the only cure is rest. Just go light ont hem and rest them for a little bit if there sore and you need them to not be.Keep stretching itll ease the muslces tension and also take anti inflammitory medicine it helps with muscle soreness, or try icyhot, or muscle rub.cremes help if you use them regulary.
And maybe a muscle relaxer.
all i got hope i helped : )

Stay hydrated. Stay fueled with good carbs. Stay away from high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and partially hydrogenated oils.Make sure you are swimming in all your practices and completing your workouts.
Don't 'over' warm up before your meet.
After your meet, take a cold bath and that can sometimes help.
And, check with your coach for more ideas.
Good luck!
Why do I always feel hungry after I swim?
Take to ibuprofen an hour before diving. See if this reduces the inflammation in the musculature. Also ICE instead of heat packs. (no one likes ice but that will also reduce the soreness). Don't over stretch and get plenty of rest. Try glucosomine chondrotin to help with soreness in the joints. Good luck!Just go for a short jog. It gets your blood pumping and fills you with energy.
How can I be friends that so rude?
relax breath deep every 5 seconds if u cant every 4.Do swimsuits flare after sometime?
I suggust you try to relax while you can, sometimes if you over stretch you might pull something or end up hurting yourself more. :)Don't pick up heavy things, and don't walk up hill.
Also try having a younger sibling to do all your stuff for you, persuade them to.
Good luck :)
Who believed that if you pee'd in a swimming pool it would turn a different colour from a dye ; ) ?
try just shaking your shoulders then slowly move down towards your feethint: do this in the locker room as to not embarrass yourself
jump up and down and shake
I dont want to take swimming lessons!?
Warm-ups within the pool where you actually swim laps at a slow pace are actually very good pre-meet exercizes.Also, try listening to some rap or hard core rock to get you motivated to swim and to swim well. It really gets your blood pumping if you get into it. Just make sure to crank the music loud.
I have also heard calestenics are another good way to get yourself going.
How did Australian swimmer Giaan Rooney got her name?
Warm up at the very beginning of the swim meet, but also do about a kilometre just before. Also swim down between events where there is the opportunity.More Questions & Answers...
