Abstract
This study aimed to develop and standardize a scale to measure the prevalence of sports-specific injuries among competitive swimmers. A questionnaire-based survey design was used to collect data from 100 competitive swimmers aged 14 years and above who had been swimming competitively for at least one year and had experienced at least one sports-specific injury in the past 12 months. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire that included demographic information and information on the type of sports-specific injuries experienced by the participants. The study found that shoulder pain was the most common injury experienced by swimmers, with 92% of participants reporting it. The study also found that cuts, bruises, or wounds affected the performance of 66% of swimmers, and 56% of swimmers experienced skin rashes or allergies due to swimming pool water. The study suggests that swimmers should take precautions to avoid injuries, such as properly warming up before swimming and seeking proper medical treatment and recovery from injuries to avoid long-term effects on their swimming ability.
