Pre-swim mobility exercises by Cate Campbell - Thread the needle into the rabbit hole

Australian swimming champion Cate Campbell shares with us her favourite pre-swim mobility exercises. “In this exercise I am kneeling on all fours, I lift one hand up to the ceiling then slide it through along the ground across my body. I do this a few times, then a thread my arm in between my legs, grab hold of my opposite ankle for a big side stretch.“ Top tips: • Inhale to reach your arm up to the ceiling and exhale to slide it across the floor. • To get a deeper stretch its okay to bend your supporting arm and allow your head to rest on the floor during the rotations. • When you thread the needle in between your legs, grab on to your opposite ankle and try and pull it back towards you. Stay in this position for 2 breaths. Read full article: #arenasportswear #arenawaterinstinct
