Reasons of swim injury
These are some of the factors that may lead you to swim injuries:
* Improper Technique
o reaching too far and over-rotating
o crossing over in freestyle when pulling
* Sudden increase in training distance or intensity
* The use of pull buoys and hand paddles
* Swimming only freestyle at every workout
* Unbalanced strength development

So always be careful while swimming.

RE: Reasons of swim injury
The most common injuries prevalent in swimmers are actually wear and tear damage to the shoulders, specifically the rotator cuffs. I myself have never felt any pain from my wrists. However, if you're new to swimming it doesn't sound all that alarming that you've got pain in your wrists. Your hands are effectively what propels you forward in the water, and you do tend to use a lot of muscles all throughout the arms, including (and especially) the wrists. If your wrist muscles aren't particularly developed, you probably will feel some wrist pain. Wrist curls and other sorts of wrist exercises can help you develop those muscles. What'd I'd guess is most likely happening is the constant pressure put on your wrists. It's not that your wrists are inherently weak, simply that they're not used to the constant pressure being put upon them. As you become a better swimmer, this problem (with some work) SHOULD go away. Become concerned when after a while it does not.
