[quote=Anonymous]The risk of concussion in swim is not none. My daughter swims and plays soccer. The most serious injury we've seen was in swim. A child almost died by drowning because he skipped a breath, blacked out, sank to the bottom. Fortunately, the lifeguards were on it. We've also seen concussions at swim. If your backstroke count is off, you can slam head first into the pool wall. Younger kids are particularly susceptible to this, which is why you'll see timers put their hands down between head-and-pool-wall at races. We've seen a couple kids get concussions from hitting the wall. A few kids have needed surgery from shoulder problems as well, but that seems to be mostly the kids who get really into fly. Anecdotally, my daughter has gotten a concussion from soccer and she's never gotten injured from swim, but swim is not risk free.[/quote]
