Hi Everyone,
My name is Sarah and I just recently came back to swimming (about 3 weeks ago) after a couple years break. (I am 27).
After the first week of swimming in the local Masters program, I started to develop lower back pain. The pain got so bad that I can no longer swim...I saw my doctor and they told me that it is a muscle strain...
Has anyone else delt with lower back pain? How long was it before you started to feel better?:confused:

Sarah--I would see if you can't find back strengthening exercises that you could do--the trainer at school is developing a program for me that uses those swiss yoga balls because after throwing my back out last year, my back has never felt 100%...I feel a lot stiffer in lower back motion and I have some low back aches and pains that are pretty continual after I've started swimming regularly....
So maybe a simple program like that might work for you as well?
