Today's video is focused around injury prevention in swimmers and is lead by Tom!🏊🙂

1. Prone arm raise -

This exercise targets the muscles around the shoulder blade and upper back, as well as the rotator cuff muscles. In this movement, we can work on keeping the shoulder positioned in a way that lets the arm move more freely overhead. This is important if you’re having problems with movements like front crawl! 👍

2. Side-lying dumbbell raise with circles -

In any movement involving the shoulder, having good strength and stability of the rotator cuff muscles is important for good function! This exercise targets both! The small circular movements make the muscles around the joint work hard to control its position, helping to make the shoulder more reactive and responsive!💪

3. Arm raise with a resistance band -

In this exercise we can combine the main components from the first two exercises; by setting our strong starting position we use the muscles of the upper back to stabilise, whilst working the muscles of the rotator cuff as we lift the arms. As mentioned in the video, this can be uncomfortable for some as we lift the arms overhead – if this is the case, start lower and work your way up as tolerated!🙌
