Swimming-induced subacromial impingement syndrome, structural injury of glenoid lip of shoulder joint and related shoulder joint dysfunction are collectively called "swimming shoulder". Patients often have shoulder pain when swimming or lifting their arms, and it often radiates to the proximal side of the arm.
