Swimming:
• swimmers are at increased risk for fungal (eg tinea pedis) and viral (eg verrucae pedis) infection due to moist environment and barefoot that facilitates transmission of the infective agents
• swimmers are at greater risk of extensor tendonitis in the anterior ankle/dorsal foot region
• the plantarflexed position of the feet during most swim strokes, predisposes swimmers to the development of an ankle joint equinus foot compensates during gait increased risk for foot pathology.
• common cause of heel pain in inexperienced swimmers is the knocking of the heel onto the edge of the pool during a misjudged turn
