    Athletes spend 8 hours in the pool, with little to no inches of separation between them, so it´s easy to hit a teammate in the head or somewhere else.
    Concussions and tendon injuries are the most common, along side knees and rotator cuff.
    It´s very important for athletes to be very careful and strech before and after entering the pool.    ]]>     2021-09-08 04:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/saravagutz/vugspkm122ay7w0a/wish/1723775048     2016 OLYMPICS SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING ROUTINES saravagutz https://padlet.com/saravagutz/vugspkm122ay7w0a/wish/1723826277 2021-09-08 04:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/saravagutz/vugspkm122ay7w0a/wish/1723826277 TEAM MEMBERS saravagutz https://padlet.com/saravagutz/vugspkm122ay7w0a/wish/1723832361 Helena Marquez Sanchez
