I've been having a problem recently. When I swim, about 300 yds in, I get a really bad headache. This just started happening about two weeks ago. I have been swimming for about year now and have never had anything like this. The pain is unbearable to the point where it feels like a migraine.
If anyone has had the same problem please let me know. Are my goggles too tight? Maybe my swimcap? Am I depriving my brain of oxygen !? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I would like to be able to swim without this pain!

Reviview your swimming thechnique, make sure you're not tweaking yourself. Check your breating patterns, amke sure you're not straining yourself. Check your goggles and cap, yea, I get a headache If I strap my goggles on too tight for too long...
Also, if you're not swimming under a coach, this could be a good time to look up a coach, and perhaps invest in a lesson or two, to help you figure out if something is odd about your technique... and causing this.
If all of the above doesn't make any difference, check with the doctor.
