Abstract
Most analyses of swimming and diving injuries have focused on spinal and orthopedic trauma. Nevertheless, the nature of headfirst diving and swim strokes suggest facial trauma is an underappreciated concern for clinicians. These findings reinforce the need for safer swimming and diving practices and serve as a useful resource for physicians managing pediatric facial injuries.
