“…Although numerous studies have focused on specific injury types, particularly swimmer's shoulder (McMaster, 1999;Sein et al, 2010;Tate et al, 2012;Walker, Gabbe, Wajsweiner, Blanch, & Bennell, 2012), surprisingly little published information exists on the incidence and distribution of injury affecting competitive swimmers. Almost all observational reports are descriptive and rely upon retrospective questionnaires (Bak, Bue, & Olsson, 1989;Garrick & Requa, 1978;Graham & Bruce, 1977;Grimmer, Holland, Williams, & Paterson, 1996;Kennedy, Hawkins, & Kissoff, 1978;Lanese, Strauss, Leizman, & Rotundi, 1990;McFarland & Wasik, 1996;Mutoh, Takamoto, & Miyashita, 1988;Richardson, 1999;Wolf et al 2009).…”
