COMMON SWIMMING INJURIES

- Lower Back Pain: Improper stroke technique or underlying core weakness can lead to lower back discomfort.
- Knee Pain: The breaststroke kick can put stress on the knees, particularly for those with pre-existing conditions.
- Hip Pain: Similar to the knees, the breaststroke kick and kicking in general can irritate the hips.
