Arms hurt unbelieveabley bad when I swim--Anyone else heard of this?

[7_Deadly_Sins]

When I go swimming, my tris/bis hurt unbelieveabley bad...not to sound like a pussy, but its one of the worst pains I've ever felt..kinda like they're on fire from the inside out and nothing I can do will make it go away other than time.
Theres been about 2 times where it happened to me and I almost went under b/c I could't push my arms any more to move.
Has anyone ever heard of this, or have any ideas what could cause this?

Probably cause all the blood is going to supply those big ass legs you got~!

Noodles

Ever try getting some of those foam noodles for the pool they work great. Put 2-3 underneath your body and just propel yourself by kicking.

are you taking aas? have always swam and this just now occurred? or did you just start swimming? if you just started it may be because you're not used to the exercise. the more you do it the easier it will get... if i went for a mile long jog today my legs would be in serious pain because i haven't done it in years. but if i did it every day for a month or two my body would adjust to it.

I'm in Ga, so I mostly go to rivers or springs.
Besides, lets just say I'm out some where and someone is drowning, and I cant save them b/c if I do my arms would give out and I'd go under too...not a plesent thought.
