In the last few weeks I've noticed after about 500m of backstroke or more, when I go upright I get REALLY dizzy. No other stroke has this effect. If I do less than 500 or so, there's really not a problem. Anyone ever had this problem? If so, are there remedies? Would using earplugs help?
Here's what I've discoverd so far. I'm looking straight up at the ceiling for a guide, while I swim (otherwise I'm so new at it, I'd be crashing into the lane lines, etc.) I didn't notice any swelling in my upper arms, just by sight. I'll measure tomorrow. I was so busy trying to look at everything else, that I totally forgot to monitor my breathing.
Maybe this is a clue. I usually do my backstroke, right after my 500m breaststroke set. I usually try to swim the last 100 as fast as I can. I use the backstroke to usually catch my breath. Could that be the problem?
