Does anyone know about negative muscular (from swimming) effect on figure skaters?
My granddaughter (age 10) is on a synchronized ice skating team skating team. They travel and stay at hotels for competitions. The coaching staff enforce a 'no swimming' policy because they say there muscles are too negatively effected and will effect their skating . . . I can't find this supported anywhere - - -and these are children in a recreational league - - -and the 'swimming' is splashing around in a pool with teammates - -- hardly doing laps!!! - -no one is heading to the Olympics on this team. . . . .does anyone have any SOLID information on the topic?
