Swim - elbow pain
Quote | Reply
Anyone have thoughts on elbow pain during swimming? I raced a 5 mile swim last week and developed elbow pain and soreness (terres minor) on my breath side. I get terres minor issues a lot and have mainly fixed that issue. The elbow pain was a 1st and I'm ramping up to a 12 mile swim so curious if anyone has an idea on the cause. The elbow pain developed around the 3.5 mile mark (didn't hurt the next day)

Working with a stroke analysis again next month but thought the hive may have an idea.

Without seeing a video of you swimming, the most common cause was you were dropping your elbow on the reach before the pull. Were you wearing a wetsuit?

Inside of the elbow? I had it awhile back, a hefty combo of fly fishing and swimming did it to me..all I did was massage the tendon just below the bone, and tried not to keep my elbow bent for long. Took about 2 weeks to go away. I still swam but nothing intense.
