Swimming is a relatively low impact sport, but our sport’s repetitive movements can often lead to nagging injuries. Every sport comes with a set of specific injuries. The list of injuries for swimming may be shorter than that of sports like football and baseball, but competitive swimmers can still fall victim to injury. Many of the injuries dealt with by swimmers are less than severe, but can become serious if left untreated. The two most common locations for injury are the shoulders and the knees…
Swimmers shoulder is very common, especially freestyle swimmers. Many times freestyle swimmers power through long practices with small amounts of stroke mixed into the workout. This constant repetitive motion can lead to pain and inflammation due to incorrect technique or overwork in the shoulder joint.
Prevention starts with technique correction. When swimmers master the correct techniques there is less stress placed on the shoulder causing less pain. Along with technique correction, limiting the amount of arm heavy drills and pulling with paddles can aid tremendously in preventing further injury. Another approach to swimmer’s shoulder prevention is to incorporate orthopedic band exercises into the stretching routine daily to build shoulder strength.
