Whack!

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?

  • Yes, I do the usual tricks: kick only when another swimming is approaching or single arm stroke, but eventually you're still going to have a mental lapse or not see someone in the next lane and smack them.
