Froggy brother's and sisters:
Do you have any specific dry land exercises you do for your knees. I know extensions and curls are good to stabilise.
Anyone have any other tips?

It's just a blip. I had a bad kick and felt it at the time it happened. I've swam miles and miles with my original technique, in fact trying to "whip" more is how I did it--and probably not warmed up enough.. So I won't be doing that again--I don't care about changing styles for better time or PR if it means I can't swim. I have enough issues with my back.
I don't think the tiling isn't affecting my knee. I got pads. A back brace and my left arm supporting me 90% of the time.
Knee is like 90% today. I can take some lateral strain now (e.g. drag inside of foot on the rug to test) but the ligament let's me know that it's not 100%. So more ice.
I doubt that it's chronic but if so I'll have to look at some of the stuff Forty noted.
I'm looking more for day to day things to keep it in shape., and strong. I'm hoping the remedial stuff won't be needed or this will be a short USMS career, and I'll stick to lapping. I'm not here for what I can do but for what I can do without overly risking injury.
