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.

Ouch!!!
A couple years ago I was in a wreck and the seatbelt did quite the number on me. I bruised my chest and collarbone area pretty badly, and it took me a few weeks to get to the point where I could put on a bra without wincing.
It was probably 2 months before I could swim breaststroke, but I was back swimming freestyle (though with some soreness) after about a month of life in the kickboard lane. I just took it slow and didn't push myself too hard during that time.
It was frustrating, but it got better. Good luck!
