Competitive swimming has a low incidence of back pain and spine injury. Catastrophic cervical injury can occur from diving into a shallow pool; and injuries frequently result from diving from any height. Functional lower and middle back pain usually are due to musculoskeletal causes and are treated conservatively. In a sport that rewards flexibility, it is vital that coaches, trainers, and treating physicians stay current with the physical effects resulting from evolving competitive techniques and rules.
竞技游泳中背痛和脊柱损伤的发生率较低。跳入浅水池可能会导致灾难性的颈椎损伤；从任何高度跳水都经常会导致受伤。功能性下背部和中背部疼痛通常由肌肉骨骼问题引起，采用保守治疗。在一项注重柔韧性的运动中，教练、训练师和治疗医生紧跟不断演变的竞技技术和规则所产生的身体影响至关重要。
