Study population: Egyptian swimmers , Age ranging from 12 - 25 as mentioned in the subgroups and this study will be taken as a one shot.

Swimmers will be collected from (Al-Ahly, Heliopolis, Shooting, El Shams, Al-zohour ,platinum , El-Nasr, Cairo ,Al-Maadi, Tala'ea Elgeish, Ittihad el shorta , El- Rowad ,Wadi-Degla, Shooting ,El Ghaba and El Geziera Sporting Clubs).

Brief summary: In the available literature, there are no prevalence studies that show the incidence of subacromial impingement in swimmers in Egypt, this should be considered as it's one of the most commonly reported injuries worldwide in swimmers. There are also no available studies to show the difference in incidence of subacromial impingement between both genders in Egypt. This study is attempting to remedy both research deficits and to reduce the literature gap and to show the prevalence rate of this injury among Egyptian swimmers in different age groups, to help prevent its widespread and to provide data for further investigations. This study would give the Egyptian swimming federation and the Ministry of youth and sports a clear idea about the prevalence rate of swimmer's shoulder at different ages in Egyptian swimmers. Most importantly, this study is to provide the physiotherapy community in Egypt data about this injury, the rate of prevalence and how to prevent it and hopefully would help in further future studies and also to apply it in different countries.
