I am planning to attempt this; doctor says okay. Break is fairly recent (Thur) and swim is tomorrow (Sun).
Has anyone swam with a broken tailbone before? Any advice?
I broke it on Thursday right after swim practice and the meet is this Sunday. Plan to get in early and test things out during warm up. Thankfully I don't have to ride a bus there ... ouch!!
Ouch...I've swam while recovering from back spasm... not the same but I found going easy off the walls is ok. I you can flip just don' push off too hard.. and don't go nuts on the kicking. Feel better!
I swam in high school with a broken tail bone (yay figure skating) and don't remember it being an issue. The school bus rides to the meets were what just about killed me. Have you been in the water yet, or practiced a start or two? That might give you a better idea what you're dealing with. Good luck!
You should be fine for the swim - mine wasn't an issue in the water but I was sore for a few weeks especially when sitting and standing up. Good luck tomorrow!
