Pain after swimming for the first time in ages

[Threecactusplants]

I went swimming this morning for the first time in a very long time, and I was doing breast stroke, back stroke and some front crawl.

Now my arms are absolutely killing me! Really aching. Is this normal less than 24h later?!

I wanted to get back into it, but this is putting me off! I do have joint pain with possible hyper mobility so I’m assuming it could be related.

They’re really aching 😭

Perfectly normal, that is why is recommended as good exercise.

Been there. You’ve overdone it a bit for the first time back. Keep going but build it up gradually maybe just aim for 20 lengths to start with alternating front crawl and breast stroke.
