Did anyone notice that the paramedics were very busy at Nationals?
I saw a lady dislocate her shoulder
My teammate badly dislocated his finger and broke it
Another, broke his toe
Another whacked his foot on the wall
I saw an older lady bleeding profusely
I, myself, forgot to breathe the first 80 or so yards of the 200 back, hyperventilated, and had paramedics...
And that's just what I saw! I certainly wasn't there the whole time. Anything else, or was it mostly my team? :p
glad you're OK
It's amazing how many things go wrong at meets; how many people get injured or have a medical crisis.
how can anyone have trouble breathing in backstroke?
Your mouth should be out of the water most of the time

I don't mind swimming it, I just didn't realize I never learned how to breathe while I swim it!!!
