Have any of you experienced forearm discomfort/tension/fatigue while swimming freestyle?
My LEFT forearm gets really tension/fatigue almost when swimming freestyle but nothing else. No problem on the right side at all.
The left forearm also feels this way when typing on a computer(like now) Any suggestions for a remedy?
It makes swimming anything past a 200 really difficultl

Wookie,
Are you left-handed? If so, are you on the computer much more than normal? I can definitely notice a tension difference between my forearms after extended work on the computer because of the extra strain put on the arm using the mouse. It hasn't reached pain, but I do notice it in the pool.
Patrick- right handed. I use the mouse with my right hand. When I type, my right doesn't get bothered, just the left. I hold the phone with my left, cell phone with the left too.
What I don't get is why it bothers me swimming freestyle but nothing else.
