By Chandler Brandes, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

Injuries, no matter how big or small, are devastating. No swimmer ever wants to deal with an injury, and no coach ever hopes his or her athletes become injured. Injuries, although unfair, are part of swimming, and chances are most swimmers will have to deal with pain or a more serious problem at least once during their careers.<\/p>\n

We often forget that injuries affect not just the individual, but the entire team. Whether you\u2019re out of the water for a few days or have to sit out for the whole season, your team notices your absence in the pool.\u00a0How the team responds to a teammate\u2019s injuries can play a crucial role in their recovery time and overall team camaraderie.<\/p>\n

Here are three things to remember if you have injured teammates:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Trust that your injured teammates are still working hard.<\/h2>\n

It may seem unfair as you watch your injured teammates get out of practice early while you still have a few thousands yards left to swim. But ask yourself: do you really wish you were injured? Nope.\u00a0You may have an hour and a half lift in the morning and a two-hour swim practice in the afternoon each day, and your injured teammates may do half of the amount of training you do with many modifications. But add on the hours of rehab, physical therapy, and treatment they receive every\u00a0day, chances are it adds up to more time than you spend each day training.<\/p>\n

Help keep them motivated. If you see that they\u2019re making progress, let them know that you see them getting stronger each day. If they can\u2019t do everything to full capacity in the pool, chances are they are cross-training to accommodate their injury, like running or biking. Trust that your injured teammates are doing everything they can do to get back to full health.<\/p>\n

2. You don’t know how they’re feeling.<\/h2>\n

If you aren\u2019t currently injured, or have never sustained a serious injury from swimming, you don\u2019t know what it feels like. Often times, the uninjured don\u2019t know everything that\u2019s going on with the injured. Do not assume you know everything about your teammate\u2019s injury, and don\u2019t pretend that you know exactly how they\u2019re feeling or what they\u2019re doing to get better. Talk to your injured teammates to get to know their side of the story if you want to know more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard for your injured teammates to show up to practice knowing they can only put in 50 percent of what their teammates put in because they\u2019re hurt. If they are truly committed to the team and to their goals, they\u2019ll be upset that they can\u2019t do everything they\u2019d be able to do if they weren\u2019t injured. Injuries are both mentally and physically exhausting.\u00a0Having support from the team helps the injured person feel connected even if they can\u2019t always be in the water training each and every day, and may even help them recovery faster.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Focus on what you can control.<\/h2>\n

First of all, be thankful that you\u2019re not injured. It\u2019s easy to get caught up in what your teammates are doing, but you cannot control their actions. You<\/strong> can only control what you<\/strong> do in and out of the pool. Focus on what you can do so you don\u2019t become injured yourself. If something starts to hurt, be proactive so it doesn\u2019t become worse, and make sure you\u2019re taking care of yourself. During practice, focus on the set you\u2019re doing\u2014don\u2019t worry about how the injured lane\u2019s practice seems \u201ceasier\u201d and don\u2019t become jealous when you see them get out of the pool before you do. It\u2019s natural to be concerned or have questions about a teammate\u2019s injury, but focusing too much on them turns your attention away from your own performance. They need to focus on addressing their injury, and you need to remain focused on working towards achieving your goals.<\/p>\n

Injuries don\u2019t come with a warning, and if you ever become injured, you\u2019d want the same support from your teammates as you should be giving them. Be supportive of them as they try and get back in the water full time; it can make their return to swimming after injury a little less painful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
