I was in a car wreck about 2 weeks ago and was bruise probably good on one of my breasts. Anyway, breaststroke when I swim a little faster than slow hurts with the pull. Freestyle doesn't hurt as much. It mainly effects one arm now. Anyone else experance problems with their swimming after a car wreck.

Cynthia,
First of all, I hope a bruise is the only injury you suffered, and the accident wasn't more serious.
I was in a car accident a while ago where one of the ligaments (tendons?) in my shoulder was strained from the seatbelt. That was the only damage, but since then I have not been able to swim butterfly stroke. My shoulder hurts with the other strokes, but I can live with it. Fly is pretty much out, unfortunately.
You should ask your doctor if the injury will permanently affect your swimming.
Hope this helps.
