I posted this same question on the workout section, so excuse the duplication, but I wanted to get the consensus of opinion from you swimmers on whether swimming is contradicted in cases of lumbar stenosis. The literature is a bit equivocal, and my own experience is conflicting, but it could also be that I'm just horendously out of shape (close to a decade of inactivity). So if anyone knows the answer to this question, please let me know. Thanks.

It is the hyper extention that gets me in trouble so I've got to be very careful with fly and have had to learn to keep my pelvis in the correct plane and keep my fly kick extremely stiff. Actually, it's probably improved my technique some by having to stay so flat.
Rich, can you elaborate on that kick for me,if you have time please? I can sometimes feel the fly kick (haha attempted I should say) and experimenting in another style may be useful. also how has this affected your times, or is Fly just an accompanying stroke for you?
Thanks
