Low back pain only during races	Can't Post

I've noticed that I get a pronounced pain on the bike during racing located on both sides of my lower back. I never get this pain during training so I'm guessing it has something to do with the muscles I'm using while swimming. Does this mean that I just need better swim fitness (probably)? Are there any additional exercises I can do to help with this?

Weak core, no doubt. Plenty of resources on ST or elsewhere. Do a basic internet search for core exercises and planks.

Hope this helps.

Caused by sighting while swimming. More core work ought to help.
