Swimmers Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

P6MMB

Anyone have advice for managing/healing swimmers elbow?  I'm early 60's, recently upped my swimming and am having lateral elbow pain after swims.  It doesn't hurt while swimming but tends to wake me with pain at night and also is extremely tender if bumped.

I'm hoping to consult a swim coach on my technique but would appreciate any other exercises/advice.

Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you for your replies. In case it's of use to others, I've been following advice from the website below as well as icing and using topical NSAID's and it's improving fast.  Also got the coaching advice to make sure to engage the muscles of the whole shoulder and lats rather than muscling through with the arm and that also seems to make a big difference.  Most of you probably know to do this but I'm new to real swimming
