Hackett back in training
Grant Hackett will not rush back to competitive swimming despite making a quick recovery from a shoulder injury, his coach Denis Cotterell said today.
The 1,500 metre freestyle champion ruled himself out of March’s Commonwealth Games in Melbourne late last year, electing to undergo shoulder surgery.
Cotterell said Hackett had been training strongly since having the surgery, but was unlikely to race again until much later this year.
“He’s probably ahead of what I thought he’d be doing. I really just wanted to kick over slowly, and he is, but the volume’s picking up, even if it’s slow volume,” he Cotterell.
“I’m not even considering anything for six months at least, but it’ll go entirely on how he adapts to his training and how he builds up.
