Abstract
Given the rise of swimming as a casual, competitive, artistic, and health-related activity in the past few years, it has become increasingly important to look at injuries that can be caused by swimming. Through studying swimming-related injuries to the upper extremities, swimmers can understand how to prevent major, long-lasting injuries and how to treat these injuries if they occur. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) Database was used to analyze data on swimming-related injuries to the upper extremities in the last five years. In these past five years, 82,834 injuries to the upper extremities of swimmers have been reported to the Emergency Department (ED). The study highlights the most common upper-extremity-related injury in swimming and how to prevent it, as well as how to treat it. In addition, it is vital to note that future research could delve into possible equipment that would help prevent the injury altogether.
