This exercise strengthens:
• rear delts
• rotator cuff
• lats
• scapular stabilizers
• obliques and deep core
Why does this matter for swimming?
✔️ Stable shoulder = lower risk of impingement and inflammation
✔️ Strong scapula = stronger catch
✔️ Better core control = more power transfer in the stroke
✔️ Full range of motion work = better overhead mobility
For swimmers, this isn’t just strength work — it’s injury prevention + a stronger stroke.
