Hi
i have recently started learning swimming. im 27 and never got the opportunity to learn swimming. Any ways my trainer started with the breaststroke. ive attended the course for about 8 days now for about an hour each day.
i have recently started having groin pain during the stroke kick and after a couple of days the pain is away. it starts again when i try to practice the kick (only the kick without the arm movement)
i wanted to ask if it is normal, or does it occur only if i do the kick wrong. my trainer says i am doing the kick ok. well a little more than ok actually. i feel the same too. but for this pain.
any ideas?
It is easy to get a groin pull with breaststroke kick.I am a breaststroker and I do very little kick only breaststroke,it just puts too much strain on the joints.At least get your coach to have you do full stroke.With kick only you are constantly accelerating and decelerating and the strain on joints is greater.A good rule is,if it hurts like its tired ,maybe go on,if it hurts like its strained,do something else for awhile.
