There are also regulations on what types of swimsuits, caps, jewelry and injury tape that are allowed at competitions. Although it is possible for competitive swimmers to incur several injuries from the sport, such as tend ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
