QUESTION:
Hello Cassie, I have been on a bit of a journey this year; I was really getting into swimming and my fitness was the best it has been in years. Then two months ago I was struck down with a bad virus which has really hit me hard. For weeks I could not exercise at all, now when I do, I struggle to even do half of the distance that I was able to do three months ago. When I try and push the speed my arms just don’t want to move. I am finding it mentally hard! Do you have any tips on getting back into swimming after illness?
