It's getting to the point where I hate swimming fly in practice because it hurts so bad when I get whacked in the hand. I remember this happening when I was a kid, too, but back then it was usually fine soon after. Now my hand bruises and it hurts for days afterward. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this something we just have to deal with when we get older?
I hate swimming fly in a lane with other people and normally only do 25's if I have to. Like others have said, I do a 1 arm stroke while we pass and launch back to regular fly after.
I think we lose fat deposits in our hands as we age. My hands/wrists bruise and blood vessels pop whenever I get whacked these days. I've even bled a couple times. Maybe someone needs to design padded swim gloves.
