Anyone get neck and upper back pain (accross the shoulders) from swimming? I don’t know what else it would be from. I’m guessing it’s a form problem. Maybe from looking forward too much while my face in under water?
Um, I get that kind of pain from long rides when you are super aero and you have to lift your head quite a bit to see the road. The only pain I get from swimming is deltoid soreness from increasing intensity/distance.
I have had some light neckpain (stiff neck) from swimming - I believe in my case either from looking too much forward or also from turning and raising my head too much when breathing. For me focusing on just letting my head float on the surface and rotating with my whole body as well as looking rather straight down has worked quite well.
