Thanks! Yes, we discussed before how these exercises could remedy it. I never said it was a major problem, but there is a tad more resistance during the recovery portion of the stroke vs no wetsuit, and that can add up. Training for that while not training in a wetsuit was the point of the thread.
I’m going to bet that if I had a sample of 30 swimmers with perfectly fitting wetsuits swim 2 miles no wetsuit and then a week later swim 2 miles with a wetsuit, and after each swim, test the time to fatigue of their shoulder and scapula muscles, the time would significantly reduce after the wetsuit swim. It's that simple, and unless you can refute that hypothesis, I just don't buy the claims on here that indicate that there would be no difference.
