Hi all,
I've been building my walking by slowly adding more blocks and now I think it's time to see if I can help my progress with exercises in the pool. I thought I might walk in the pool and I read on this website (non-Forum section) that backstroke and sidestroke are good.
For others who have done this, when you walk in the water do you walk in barefeet or in water shoes? I have had past problems with plantar fasciitis, but haven't for awhile.
And for sidestroke--I have a left thoracolumbar curve--would it best to swim on my left or right side or both?
Any other suggested techniques?
I used to find breaststroke would stretch me out and make me feel good, but ever since I had a setback a year and a half ago regular swimming doesn't seem to provide relief though I haven't tried it for awhile and maybe it's time to try it again.
And, FYI, at this point, I have not had surgery. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
