Soreness in wrists from Swimming?

    I recently (3 months ago) started taking swimming lessons. I've been swimming about 3 x 30 mins sessions per week. Ive been noticing recently that my wrists are getting super sore, like away at night sore. Is this norming for swimming?

    I also use the gym about 3 days a week. Using the gym about 6 month and not really attributing that to the wrist pain as it didnt really come along until the swimming.

    I do type a lot for work, have to use my mobile to type as well as a keyboard, but been doing this for years with no issues.

    Anyway, trying to find out if this is normal when starting to swim?

    It's not normal for swimming but it might be a result of something like having your wrist bent/flexed at too much of an angle and the pain that you've had of late is just an accumulation of overuse of the wrist in that position.

    I also wouldn't necessarily discount something you're doing in the gym. It may be that you used the gym alone with no issue but the swimming may only be tipping it over the edge, if that makes sense, and causing the issue so it may be something that is caused by some form of mechanical issue in something you do in the gym AND the pool.
