sprained ankle

I sprained my ankle foolishly trying to participate in land-based sports. :doh: No more pain while walking, but I'm not able to kick. Any advice on swimming with a sprained ankle? Does taping work?

  • I sprained my ankle pretty badly the week before Big Shoulders a few years ago. I use a two-beat kick so not a major problem other than the jostling at the start which wasn't fun. What helped me get ready was staying immobile out of the pool and lots of icing. The cold water during the swim actually soothed the ankle.
