7-10 Split.: It seems that a perfect strike has not spared your foot. Swelling is a pretty good indication that some degree of trauma has occurred. Bruising ,in some cases, make take some time to appear. The real concern is whether or not there is pain. Pain, either with or without weight bearing, could indicate a fracture. Apply Ice, elevate and rest it. May have to have it examined if things don't pick up.
