Abstract
This article discusses a number of medical conditions that are common to aquatic athletes. Exercise-induced asthma is particularly prevalent in swimmers because swimming is among the activities tolerated best by asthmatics. The healthcare professional frequently must evaluate and manage respiratory infections and infectious mononucleosis in swimmers, particularly in regard to the safe timing of return to training and competition. Dilutional sports pseudoanemia must be differentiated from the true anemias that are due mostly to iron-deficiency and intravascular hemolysis. Finally, the evaluation, management, and prevention of otitis externa, external auditory canal exostoses, and dermatologic disorders in swimmers are reviewed.
