Artistic (synchronized) swimming is a fast-paced, predominantly female aesthetic sport on which there has been very little research. Despite origins in theatrical performance, the physical demands of artistic swimming have evolved significantly, subsequently increasing the potential for traumatic injury, including concussion. Sport-related concussion is a traumatic brain injury that can result in behavioural complaints, cognitive impairments, mood disturbance, and altered sleep. Despite findings that female athletes may experience a greater rate of concussion, more symptoms, and longer recovery than male athletes, females remain under-represented in sport concussion research. Sport-related concussion in artistic swimming has not yet been examined. The purpose of this research was to explore the incidence and injury context of sport-related concussion in youth artistic swimmers in Ontario within a community-based research setting. First, a retrospective study examined the injury context factors surrounding concussions sustained during artistic swimming. Second, a prospective study measured the incidence of concussion in this population over one season, and further explored the injury context of concussion. The incidence risk of concussion was 1.91%, and the clinical incidence was 1.91 per 100 athletes. The most frequent mechanism of injury was contact with another athlete, most commonly during pattern transitions and highlights. Concussions occurred most frequently in in-pool training between November and March, and in the deep-end of the pool. Valuable sport-specific concussion resources for the artistic swimming community were developed through collaboration with Ontario Artistic Swimming. One of these resources was an injury tracking program. A qualitative study examining coaches' perceptions of the injury tracker provided valuable feedback for improvements. The important lessons learned from this partnership include the identification of contact between athletes in artistic swimming, findings of concussion incidence comparable to other girls' sports, and description of the injury contexts associated with concussion in artistic swimming. Exploration of concussion in artistic swimming is warranted to protect the health and safety of these athletes, to expand the research on sport concussion in girls and women, and assist coaches and officials in understanding the nature of concussions in artistic swimming.
