A member asked:
If i have a sore neck how long should i wait to go back to swimming? is it okay to swim with a sore neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait till resolves: Swimming involves a fair amount of extension and rotation of the neck, both of which can potentially aggravate it. The safest thing would be to wait until your neck soreness resolves and only then gradually resume your swimming. If symptoms persist, don't hesitate to be seen.
