I definitely agree that you need some rubber sandals to get to & from the pool, no barefoot walking. But, I have had trouble with swimming, too. I was doing it 3 weeks after my EPF and really inflammed the healing tissue. Too much kicking is the problem, I think, altho. I haven't figured out how to swim without kicking!! I did just go on a scuba diving trip, diving at least 2 times daily for 5 days, with big fins, and this was not much of a problem . My theory is that I LIKE to scuba dive, and I DON'T like to swim in a chlorinated fish bowl!! No endorphins there! I hope to start a pool swimming program next week, so if I discover any secrets to it, I'll post! Good luck
