Let's just add to my misery having to swim indoors after a glorious summer of outdoor swimming--I walked into a box the first day of my vacation and fractured a bone under the baby toe. It hurt to do breaststroke and backstroke kicks but not that bad--fins actually helped stabilize my foot. I can't run (also run and play tennis) or walk or play tennis, or use stairmaster. Any one have this problem? Did you/would you continue to swim? I don't want to prolong the healing process but I WILL JUST LOSE IT if I can't even swim.:cry:

i'm not a doctor but I've broken a toe. You might get away with taping (duct tape will hold in the water) it but seek out a sports doc. If it's your toe you can ignore it but if it's a foot bone then you might have to go careful as it can affect your gait, posture and lead to other issues right up to jaw pain. I would think taped for a swim might work. You can probably get a verruca (sp?) sock to cover that foot if you apply tape too.
