I just found out I have runner's knee (which means the underside of my kneecap is getting scraped by my femur). My doctor suggested swimming as the only exercise I can do for a while. The problem is, the only stroke I know is freestyle, and I'm not even very good at that. Can you explain to me how to swim without kicking my legs too much, which is painful on my knee? What types of swimming strokes should I use? Any advice for a beginning swimmer?
Links to sites with pictures and/or video is most helpful here.
