Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.

“Swimming is a wonderful sport. I definitely recommend swimming for people of all ages,” says Dr. Matthew Crowe, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert who spent many hours in the pool as a competitive swimmer in his youth.

“Swimming is easy on the joints, and it’s very good for both cardiac health and your core strength. And it also can give you really excellent strength around the shoulders, and hips and knees,” says Dr. Crowe.

While the benefits of swimming and aquatic exercise far outweigh the risks, injuries can occur, especially with competitive swimmers who often train upward of 20 hours a week.

Swimmer’s shoulder is one of those broad terms similar to runner’s knee. Broadly speaking it’s a pain around the shoulder brought on by swimming.

As triathletes we don’t do as many miles in the pool as swimmers but we still need to look after our shoulders.

Your shoulders do a lot of the work in swimming. They have a large range of movement and are put under significant force repetitively for every stroke of front crawl.

Therefore it’s no surprise that problems in the shoulder area are the most common injuries for swimmers.

Heather will be covering the cause of swimmer’s shoulder and more importantly how to solve and ultimately prevent it.

Overuse injuries continue to increase in adolescent athletes. These athletes are training harder and longer – and sometimes, they may be doing so incorrectly. It’s incredibly important that all athletes follow proper training and technique guidelines, while also getting proper nutrition and rest outside of their sport activity. Overuse injuries occur when, simply put, too much is asked of the body and bone and/or muscle break down, leading to injury. When athletes push themselves so hard that they don’t allow their body proper recovery time, they are much more likely to sustain an overuse injury. In order for athletes to perform at their max and stay in the game, they need to take care of themselves and do what they can to prevent injuries, including overuse injuries.
