I'm a Sophomore in Highschool and this past September I injured both knees running crosscountry. I've never really come out of the injury b/c it's a cronic problem that I was pre-disposed to getting. So this year I'm looking for alternative sports to help me stay strong and maybe get me back to running. So I'm deciding to start swimming. But I'm clueless! I know nothing about this sport, but I'm hoping it will be a little easier on my knees than running. What are the most common swimmer's injuries? And swimming is easier on the joints than running right? What should I know about simple techniques/ strokes? What are the basics????? I'm interested in hearing from all of you soon! Thanks, Whitney
