Swimming induced pulmonary edema is an acute, potentially life-threatening condition that has a good prognosis with early, correct diagnosis and therapy. It affects physically active individuals, more often women, during sports activities such as swimming or diving. Clinical manifestations are sudden shortness of breath, cough, hypoxemia. Risk factors are identified, including previously undiagnosed cardiac disease. This implies the importance of preventive examinations for physically active individuals.
