Shoulder injury is highly prevalent among elite swimmers. It occurs due to microtrauma caused by repeated overhead movements and high training load and is often described as an overuse injury.
What is the swimmer's shoulder?
Shoulder pain is the most reported musculoskeletal injury in swimmers, often referred to as the swimmer's shoulder(1-3). Swimmer's shoulder occurs due to pathology in the shoulder's anterior lateral aspect, often but not always confined to the subacromial region(4, 5). The conditions associated with this condition include impaired posture and increased glenohumeral joint mobility, decreased neuromuscular control, or hampered muscle performance(4, 5). Mechanical factors influencing this pathology include overuse, misuse, abuse, or disuse(4, 6). In few advanced cases, swimmers with this condition may even have the pathology of the rotator cuff, long head of the biceps, or glenoid labarum(5-8).

Over the past month, Sajan Prakash and Srihari Nataraj rewrote the history of Indian swimming by becoming the first two Indian swimmers to achieve automatic qualification standards for the Olympics. Their accomplishments mark the peak of men’s swimming performances in India, which have been improving consistently over the past decade. Starting with the historic four-man roster sent to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Indian men have been delivering international-calibre performances, and have consistently achieved multiple qualification standards every Olympic cycle.
