Answer
Hi Rehab,
It is unlikely that the swimming caused your lower back pain unless you were either just sore from the work-out or were using bad technique. I use to train 60 year old swimmers so I am confident that age is not a determinant of physical ability. I would suggest looking up some technique descriptions and trying it again.
Hope that this helps.
