This paper examines the critical intersection of biomechanics and hydrodynamics in swimming, focusing on how biomechanical analysis enhances performance and minimizes injury risks. It traces the historical evolution of swimming techniques from utilitarian practices to scientifically informed methods, emphasizing recent technological advancements such as 3D motion capture and computational fluid dynamics. The analysis of stroke-specific biomechanics across various swimming styles—freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly—reveals the unique biomechanical considerations essential for optimizing efficiency. Additionally, the prevalence of shoulder injuries among swimmers is addressed, highlighting the importance of injury prevention strategies, including the correction of stroke flaws and the enhancement of shoulder stability through targeted rehabilitation exercises. The integration of real-time feedback and video analysis during training is proposed as a vital tool for improving technique and safeguarding swimmer health. Ultimately, this review underscores the essential role of biomechanics in enhancing athletic performance and ensuring the long-term wellbeing of swimmers across all levels of competition.
