Swimming-induced pulmonary oedema (SIPE) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition which occurs in otherwise healthy swimmers. This is a case report of a 62-year-old female developing severe dyspnoea, haemoptysis and hypoxia during open-water swimming. The report provides the current perspectives of SIPE regarding clinical presentation and treatment and presents theories on the pathophysiology of the condition.
