SI SWIMSUIT EDITION

4 x 150m (100 crawl, 100 backstroke)
=======
600 m (untimed)

Not SI as in Sports Illustrated, but rather SI as in sacroilliac joint.

Mine is already unstable due to pregancy. The day after my last swim, I ended up having incredible pain in my SI joint. I was afraid that it might be due to swimming, and my fears were confirmed today.

I could immediately tell that my SI joint is unstable as soon as I got in the water today. So breast-stroke was immediately ruled out. I could also tell that the normal rotations of the hip I do with backstroke and crawl were also a really bad idea. So I did this terrible flat on my stomach crawl using mainly my arms to drive me forward. Same thing on my back.
