To prevent swimmer's shoulder, maintain proper swimming technique, gradually increase training volume and intensity, and incorporate shoulder-strengthening exercises into your routine. If you develop swimmer's shoulder, rest, ice, and elevate the affected shoulder, and consider seeing a physical therapist for exercises to improve shoulder mobility and strength.

Swimmer's shoulder refers to a range of shoulder injuries common among swimmers due to repetitive overhead motions. To prevent it, maintain proper swimming technique, gradually increase training intensity, and incorporate shoulder-strengthening exercises. Treatments include rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy focusing on strengthening and flexibility exercises. Proper warm-up and cooldown routines are also essential for preventing swimmer's shoulder.
