For my final project, I will use Prezi to show the different injuries and complications that swimmers may face and springing from that, I will show the ways to treat and prevent these things. I will include pictures and show videos of professional swimmers to show the correct form while swimming to avoid injuries to major joints such as shoulders and elbows. A website that will come in handy while completing my project is http://www.swimsmooth.com/injury.php. It shows how to prevent shoulder injuries by showing the correct stroke form, posture, and body rotation. This website has a lot of useful information that is related directly to my topic.
The video above shows how Michael Phelps, Olympic swimmer, swims freestyle. Freestyle is the most common swim stroke. If you have proper form then you lower your chances of injury.The picture of the man swimming shows the proper breathing technique, which can also help avoid shoulder injuries. Finally, the diagram of the ear shows how swimmer's ear occurs. I don't know any swimmers who have not experienced swimmer's ear and knowing how it occurs helps us understand how to avoid it. These are all going to be included in my final project.
A website that relates to my mentorship is the website of the surgery center where I mentor. The website is http://www.gainesvillesurgerycenter.com/
