You can bang your head swimming colliding with a swimmer coming the other way or miscounting your backstroke strokes into the wall.[/quote]

You do not know anything about swimming!!  No swimmers are not getting concussions. [/quote]

Um, I was an international swimming representative. And you? [/quote]

NCAA division 1 swimmer then coach.  Concussions don’t happen in swimming.  Even a 5 year old knows how to use the flags in backstroke so they don’t hit their head on the wall.  What on earth is an international swimming representative anyway? [/quote]

I don't believe you. Most five year olds can't swim yet let alone compete in backstroke races, counting their strokes. They're probably in learn to swim classes with names like the tadpoles and starfish. PreK kids aren't too great at math yet either.

Since 2020, USA Swimming requires coaches and officials to complete concussion protocol training. Why is that? If you'd really been swimming that many years, at some time it's highly likely you would have banged into someone coming the other way in a crowded lane. [/quote]

Can you stop squabbling? You can hit your head doing anything.  Swimming to a low risk for concussion sport. The end.

OP, yes, I’d make him quit.   Perhaps he’d excel at tennis?

But there are several low risk sports he can play- do those [/quote]
