There are many ways a swimming can cause injury.
Poor technique
Decreased flexibility or strength
Overuse
Changes in training
Swimming already injured
Poor Nutrition
Dryland, strength training, and stretching programs have significantly reduced athlete injury. They improve swimmers' overall muscle development, endurance, and athleticism, allowing for better and more consistent stroke mechanics.
Strength Training Focus
Improving stability of the shoulders (Rotator cuff and scapular muscles)
Thigh muscles and hip muscles to improve kick.
Abdominal muscles and core
Using swimming aids such as pull-buoys or paddles creates gradual resistance in the water- also provides targeted muscle group conditioning.
