Swimming crawl

Hi

5 years in and my doctor says not a good idea to swim crawl because of where the pacemaker wires are implanted. Best to swim breast stroke.

I swim 20 to 40 lengths three times a week.

Anyone heard of this?

I swim crawl

Hi,

I swim 3 to 5 times a week (60 - 80 laps) and my doctor has said it is ok to swim crawl - I did have to wait longer after the surgery (10 - 12 weeks) before I could go swimming though. I don't think it's a problem (at least I hope not!!).

Hey, you are supposed to swim on top of the water not crawl along the bottom. That's for divers. LOL

You know you're wired when...

You read consumer reports before upgrading to a new model.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
