I was fine at swimming; got home it started to ache now it hurts to bend it or have any lateral motion. Ice and advil huh?
I think it's probably just a bit strained...let's hope...

Sounds like from your description of your workout you didn't get your knees warmed up enough. My standard warmup is 100 flutter kick,100 free fist closed,100 free,100BR REALLY SLOW,100BR slow,100BR building into 200 pace,100BR building into 100 pace,and then I'm ready to workout.Thats a fairly short warmup,but I bore easily and it gets my knees warmed up and loose.
I normally stretch my knees and groin too but didn't do that yesteday...pool was mobbed and people were lingering around if I'd got out to stretch I would have lost my lane. Good news is that it's feeling better. Ill do some knee and ankle circles in the water next workout..that normally sorts me out. I've never had an issue with knees in all my years of dance and martial arts etc, they're fairly stable Like you said Allen probably a bit cold and maybe an off form kick.
