golfers elbow

All of a sudden after four years of competing and regular workouts my medial right elbow is strained and hurts with stroke. I am in the 75-79 age group.. How do I modify my stroke to alleviate the strain. I swim all four strokes and am entered at Harvard ten events in two weeks. I am icing and using ibuprofen. Thanks

  • Just curious if any of you that have had this issue found you tend to lock your elbows at certain times during yours strokes (other than streamline push-off)?? Locking loaded joints cause inflammation during weight training so it seems logical it could happen with water resistance "loading" as well.
