	Encyclopedia: The Swimmer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Swimmers with dwarfism, especially younger children who are just learning to swim, frequently experience difficulty achieving proper horizontal alignment in the water because of their relatively large head size and short limbs.
		Most dwarf swimmers with achondroplasia are capable of correctly performing the competitive swimming strokes; however, some "achons" are unable to fully extend the elbow due to abnormal bone structure in the joint, and some develop a breaststroke kick that is not textbook perfect but is nevertheless effective given their knee and ankle flexibility.
		Significant controversy surrounds whether swimmers acquire shoulder laxity as a result of repetitive motion, or whether swimmers with inherent shoulder laxity are more efficient in the water, which leads them to stay in the sport longer and compete at a higher level.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Swimmer's ear
		Swimmer's ear is an inflammation, irritation, or infection of the outer ear and ear canal.
		Swimmer's ear (otitis externa) is fairly common, especially among teenagers and young adults.
		Swimmer's ear is occasionally associated with middle ear infection (otitis media) or upper respiratory infections such as colds.

	Swimmer's Shoulder
		Swimmer's shoulder is an inflammatory condition caused by the mechanical impingement of soft tissue against the coracoacromial arch.
		As a swimmer fatigues it will become more difficult for her to lift her arm out of the water, and the muscles of the rotator cuff which work to externally rotate and depress the head of the humerus against the glenoid become less efficient.
		Swimmers who consistently turn their heads to the same side to breathe are risking shoulder pain in the opposite shoulder as it has to work harder to support forward movement with the head turned to the side.

	Swimmer's Itch
		Swimmer's itch is a skin rash caused by a parasite (schistosomes) which ordinarily infect birds, semi-aquatic mammals, and snails.
		All age groups and both sexes can be involved, but children are most often infected due to their habits of swimming or wading in shallow water and playing on the beach as the water evaporates from the skin.
		Swimmer's itch may be prevalent among bathers in lakes in many parts of the world, including the Great Lakes region of North America and certain coastal beaches.

		All of the above conditions of swimmer puppies are expanded by the "so called" experts such as vets, professionals, expert breeders, and all those other people who know more now than all the rest of us have the ability to learn.
		When we first encountered swimmer puppies we didn't know what was wrong with the pups, so we asked experts such as vets and breeders.

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Swimmer's Shoulder
		Swimmer's shoulder was first described in 1974 as a common, painful syndrome of repeated shoulder impingement in swimmers (4).
		In this stroke, which most swimmers use for the majority of training, the shoulder is subject to impingement when the shoulder is in the early to mid pull-through phase (8), which involves extreme adduction and internal rotation.
		Though swimmer's shoulder is seen in both adults and young people, the incidence is increasing in young swimmers as the intensity, length of practices, and the duration of the season increase (14).

	Swimmer's Itch
		In developing countries, swimmer's itch translates into "rice paddy itch", "clam diggers itch", "sawah" to the rice farmers in Malaysia, "kubure" or "kobanyo" to the Japanese rice farmers or "hoi con" to Thai rice farmers.
		Swimmer's itch is a patchy red pinpoint skin rash associated with itching on the parts of the body that have been in the water.

	Swimmer's Itch. DermNet NZ
		Swimmer's itch, also called cercarial dermatitis, is a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to an infestation with certain parasites of birds and mammals.
		Swimmer's itch may be diminished by briskly rubbing the skin with a towel immediately after leaving the water, to prevent the cercariae from having time to penetrate the skin.
		Swimmer's itch should not be confused with sea bather's eruption (caused by larval forms of the thimble jellyfish sea anenome or Portuguese Man-of-War) or seaweed dermatitis (caused by an alga).

		Swimmer is Bill Broady's lyrical literary debut: the story of a young female swimmer, a Commonwealth gold medallist, who escapes the peculiar loneliness of family and school life by finding her element in the water.
		"You" is the unnamed swimmer; the novel is Broady's address to a girl who, at the very beginning of the book, has had her first and last memories: the butterflies who enthuse a child with a wish to fly that becomes the wish and talent to swim.
		At 19, her athletic career all but over, the swimmer is passed on to Coach Two, an agent who helps her to find, or lose, her way in the world of "promo": the money, sleaze and sex of the night clubs and glamour modelling that emerge as the pinnacle of Coach Two's ambitions.

		If ducks do not congregate around your dock the swimmer's itch organism may originate somewhere else in the lake and is being brought to your shoreline wave action or currents.
		The life stage that causes swimmer's itch is called a "cercaria" which is an immature stage of a blood fluke common in waterfowl.
		If swimmer's itch is a problem in the lake you live on it is important to towel off immediately after getting out of the water.

	Phillips Academy Hisotry of Swimming -- Boys Swimming & Diving
		There are frequent representations of swimmers in the Vatican, Borgian and Bourbon codices, and the murals of the Tepantitla House at Teotihuacan (near Mexico City) showed men splashing about the waters of "Tlalocan," paradise of Tlaloc, the god of water.
		But it proved to be considerably faster than the conventional breaststroke, and by 1938 swimmers using the butterfly arm action, often combined with the usual frog kick, were dominating breaststroke races.
		Records and the ages of leading swimmers seem to be shrinking at an equally heady pace.

		The incidence of swimmer's shoulder has been reported to be as low as 3% and as high as 67%.
		The lax swimmers shoulder must then rely on the dynamic stabilizers, the rotator cuff, to keep the humeral head centered in the glenoid socket during stroke activity.

	WDNR - Swimmer's Itch Information
		Swimmer’s itch is a widespread occurrence in Wisconsin and has been reported in many other states and also in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
		If swimmer’s itch is known to be present, avoid swimming when winds are likely to be carrying cercariae into the beach.
		Any attempts to control swimmer’s itch by treatment to kill either the cercariae or their snail hosts are ineffective because cercariae are capable of swimming or drifting long distances from non-treated areas.

	Swimming
		Some studies have reported that as many as 60-70% of swimmers will experience shoulder pain which restricts their training at some point in their career.
		Swimmers also experience knee pain (particularly breaststrokers), back pain and, to a lesser degree, inflammatory problems of the neck, arms and legs.
		Our interest in swimmers began over 15 years ago, when we got tired of hearing that old line, "If your shoulder hurts when you swim...don't swim!" We didn't (and still don't) believe that was acceptable, so we started to do something about it.
