title: The athletic trainer in swimming.
abstract: The role of the athletic trainer for competitive swimmers must include a knowledge of stroke mechanics, adaptations to the musculoskeletal systems, and preventative exercises to reduce the incidence of injury. Maintaining competitive training while the swimmer recuperates from injury is important, especially in the overuse syndromes that are common in swimming.
