LIgament laxity: It may be your ankle has ligament laxity after spraining, possibly the scar tissue after the sprain has not healed properly or your naturally more flexible than most. Physical therapy and consistent toning of your legs and proprioception exercises can help strengthen and tighten your ankle if you continue feeling "giving way" during swimming.
