I’m going for my first 10k swim tomorrow, alternating between freestyle and butterfly every 100m. Wish me luck!

My shoulders hurt just thinking about this!

Good luck! Don’t skip a solid 15-minute elastic band warm-up—it’ll save your shoulders.

Best of luck! I remember doing a 1500m race when I was 14—I could barely lift my arms afterward.

I did a 5k in the Intercoastal Waterway with currents, and my lower back killed me from sighting. Muscle spasms galore. Kudos to you for tackling 10k!

Butterfly? What kind of madness is this? Wishing you all the best, though!

Good luck! Don’t forget to stay fueled throughout the swim!
