Swimmer Lewis Clareburt doubts a shoulder niggle will hamper his success in the pool this year

The double Commonwealth Games champion will race for the first time since November at a meet in Wellington tomorrow post-injury.

He says his competitors have also been slow getting back in the pool post-Olympics.



Clareburt's wrapping up three weeks living at an altitude-adjusted apartment at Upper Hutt's NZCIS complex as part of a conditioning programme.
