In spite of the progress in the medical science, the results of treatment and rehabilitation are not satisfactory. Every effort should be undertaken to give young swimmer, the most frequent victims of diving injuries, proper instruction on this subject.

It has been promoted in collaboration with the Institute of Public Health in Slovenia.
