They use it for rehab, so the water is around 86 F (30 C). It's like a large bathtub. Unfortunately, I am now used to bathtub water, which means it will be horrible if I ever need to swim anyplace else. LOL D001 - 2007-12-09 2:38 PM barqhead - 2007-12-08 10:35 PM What did the doc say about your shoulder? "Tendonitis." She didn't feel it was a rotator cuff tear because the pain didn't worsen when I lift my arms. So she lumped it into a generic inflammation category, I guess. LOL Oh, and she said ice wouldn't hurt it. (Yeah, like that's gonna happen. I hate anything cold.) Umm isnt water cold when you swim in it? Ugh Id get really dehydrated and frustrated... you must adapt better than me! |

Dee swims in really warm water if I remember right - not necessarily by choice though Heh, no. I like it now. Of course, I'd like it better if it wasn't cloudy, and salty, and slimy, and smelly.... Some days, it's fine. Other days, it's pretty nasty. It's also the ONLY pool in three counties. So it's not like I have a lot of options. |

I've been in this sport long enough to know what MD's do with soft tissue injury. RICE, NSAIDs. If it still bothers you, we'll do an expensive MRI and tell you, yeah, it's tendonitis. Yeah, I wasn't surprised when she said "tendonitis." But at least she didn't say "rotator cuff." That would have been worse. She asked if the pain was bad enough to require a cortisone shot. Uh, no thanks. ewww, i had a cortisone shot once, when i popped a tendon out of place playing racquetball, all it did was mask the pain and I abused it to the point of requiring surgery yep - no thanks Another good reason to avoid the MD. Although I don't want to end up with surgery, either. |

Yes - there are a lot of pools in Sydney.... I think the one a LC is about 26 degrees... bearable, the one at the uni (the indoor one) I think I saw at about 29 degrees I also have access to an outdoor pool near the harbour (a bit of a drive), the LC outdoor pool (not heated) in summer only, the Uni outdoor pool and the Epping Pool which is also outdoors. You just pay a fee to use the pool each time you turn up so... I guess its up to you how often you want to go... Thats the pools within access to home... well driving distance thats not ridiculous...

Three months should be plenty of time to build up and train for that distance safely. People tell me that after about a month of regular training, you should be back to your previous fitness level. Please do not burst my bubble on this one. I hope it is true. |
