OK, I know this is weird, but since I've started swimming seriously I've come across the following problem. The skin on the bottom of my big toes rips off. I think its from the bottom of the pool and from pushing off from the turn. It wouldn't be a prob if it didn't all come off on one spot. The skin rips off down to the "quick" and gets very red and painful.
I've tried band-aids (fall off; even the "waterproof" ones) and first aid tape (same prob).
Has anyone else had this prob? What did you do about it? i refuse to give up swimming, so I gotta find some way to keep my skin!!!
Thanks,
Mike
I know it has been a long time since I posted this question. (Sorry, got delayed with a deployment to "the 'stans.")
I would like to thank everyone who posted. Yes, I was spinning during my turn. Once I got my turn down, my toe problem has stopped.
Thanks again everyone. See ya in the lanes.
