[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swimming. Low impact, non-contact. The most common injuries are overuse injuries caused by poor form. Get private lessons or join a year-round club to get bad habits quashed early. [/quote] If the person gets into open water swimming (either as a child or as an adult) it can get riskier. I used to be very active in triathlon and the swim could get pretty brutal. Everyone rushing the water at the same time (A lot of races now do timed entry instead) and you can get trampled. Everyone kicking and arms thrusting into the water in the same small space, trying to pass each other, can lead to injury. I'm a petite female and LARGE males had absolutely no issue swimming right on top of me--literally. I was often kicked in the head/face when trying to pass people. I knew people who had to drop out of the race in the middle of the swim after being hit/kicked too hard.[/quote]
