hey guys i started going swimming everyday now but i am a bit of a beginner. i have a very thin frame and i was wondering how many laps(100m) i should swim of butterfly stroke every day to get broader shoulders and some results within a month. and if possible please list some other exercises to help me get broader shoulders. i am still growing, only 16. thanks you guys!
I am not really sure how you can get wider shoulders, but my shoulders are wider than everyone else's in my family (gosh and im a girl) and that started when I started swim team. The lap lanes at my pool are 25 meters long, and for warm ups, my coach had us do (remember, the average age is about 12 years old) 200 meters fly. If I were you, I'd swim a 400 IM every day. For an IM, you would swim (if you were doing 4 laps) one lap of each stroke, in the order of Butterfly, Back, Breast, then Free. If you were doing 8 laps, it would be 2 laps of fly, then 2 laps of back, then 2 laps of breast, then 2 laps of free and so on.
You're not much of a beginner if you can swim several 100m of Butterfly! Swimming front crawl will also give you broader shoulders and that triangular torso definition that swimmers have. Fly will give you great abs and shoulders but needs to be swum technically correct, some pools do swimming training classes to help you perfect your stroke technically. The 3 strokes which require upper body strength, fly, front and back crawl will all help with your shoulder definition. Try swimming in circuits, do 5 lengths of breast stroke, front and back crawl and fly using only your arms, then do 5 of each using only your legs then do 5 of each full stroke. You may need to use a float and build it up over time but this is excellent swimmng training.
