Plan

My 3-step injury-prevention routine

This isn’t a complicated system. It’s a repeatable routine designed to catch problems early before they turn into time out of the water. It's designed for busy students: short, repeatable, and specific enough to actually follow.

Step 1: Prepare

Before getting into the water:

I do band activation for shoulders and upper back.
I do targeted warm-up for hips, adductors, or lower back if needed.
I Mentally check how my body feels before the main set.

Goal: Start practice warm, aware, and controlled.

Step 2: Monitor

During practice:

I pay attention to how fatigue affects technique.
I adjust intensity if pain, tightness, or asymmetry shows up.
I stay honest about effort vs. form.

Goal: Catch problems early instead of “pushing through.”

Step 3: Reset

After practice:

I do light stretching or mobility work for stressed areas.
I take note of any lingering discomfort.
I adjust the next session if something doesn’t feel right.

Goal: Leave the pool setting up tomorrow, not recovering from today.

Why this works

This plan keeps injury prevention simple, consistent, and realistic. It doesn’t rely on perfect technique or zero pain. It relies on awareness, adjustment, and follow-through.
