Substitute for Swim Workouts

Greeting EN tribe-

Does anyone have any experience/ suggestions for alternatives to swimming? I went down hard on the bike on Sat and the nasty road rash is forcing me to stay dry during this crucial camp week (15 IIM). Have skipped the Mon & Tue swims. Running & biking according to plan.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Maybe swim bands? This at least mimics the swim movements.

I was going to suggest swim bands as well. I use them when I can't get to the pool and to supplement swimming.

Swim bands it is. I think I'll also add in some light-weight shoulder exercises and a little core work in place of my next swim. Thanks for the assist.
