In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Kate Baldwin - a physiotherapist, sport scientist, former professional triathlete and Rottnest Channel solo swimmer.

We explore injury in swimmers and endurance athletes, focusing on why injuries occur and how they can be prevented.

Kate shares practical insights on common swimmer injuries, the role of strength training in endurance sport, and how athletes can better manage training load to stay healthy and consistent.

We also discuss when swimmers should seek help from a physiotherapist, and the warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored.

Along the way, Kate reflects on her own experience in endurance sport, her current work with athletes, and her podcast The DistanceDr In Practice.
