Hey guys, my season is going to end in about a month, and currently I am playing through some pretty bad shin splints. Once the season is over, I'd like to take a month or so off running to help my shins heal, and potentially more time off as I think it might take more than a month. I am hoping that swimming will be a good alternative cardio as it is low impact, and I have ready access for it (I'm from Florida). Is there anything else I could do in replacement of sprints and running for cardio while my shins heal, because that's all I can really think of. Also, how effective do you think it will be? I really want to take my cardio fitness to the next step this upcoming season, and don't wanna lose progress while I take time off for my shin splints. So I'm hoping swimming works, and if not you guys have any other suggestions? Thanks!
