RENTON — Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson woke up Tuesday and almost immediately went swimming.
“I probably got about 25 (laps),’’ Wilson said. “A good 25.’’
Wilson first started dabbling in swimming in his second year in the NFL in 2013 — the same year the Seahawks won the Super Bowl — thinking it might prove helpful in recovering from the bumps and bruises of gameday. That’s something that’s even more critical this week with the Seahawks playing their one Thursday night game of the season.
Wilson added a more regular swimming routine to his schedule over the next few years following the 2013 season as he continued to further refine his game-week regiment, one he said he’s always willing to tinker with to get the best possible results.
