What kind of injuries have you had?
And has swimming helped them or made them worse?

Tendinitis, bursitis, back problems, arthritis, anything. Bring your stories.

RE: Injuries and swimming (please read)
I have had tendinitis in my knee from when I used to run. I was forced to give up cross country and to take a short break from swimming. Unfortunately, I am a breaststroker (extremely hard on the knees) so occasionally I will lapse back into pain. It's very important to ice and take some Ibuprofen, and to definitely rest!

Thanks Zash! When I start swimming, that will most likely be my stroke. It interests me the most and looks like its sure to tone you up.
I have had tendinitis also in my shoulders and elbows. It's no fun.
