Two Alabama swimmers collided in the warm-up pool at the Auburn Invitational on Thursday night, according to a report from WBRL News. At least one of the swimmers was apparently practicing a relay exchange and then ran head-on into a teammate after diving into the pool.

According to a spokesperson for the University of Alabama, “Both were treated in area hospitals and have been released. Neither will compete this weekend, but they are expected to make a complete recovery.”

One of the swimmers was flown out to the hospital, according to the WBRL report. The names of the two swimmers were not released.

wow that's weird

I hope they will be OK. Hate to see any athlete regardless of school to be injured. My son was an elite swimmer until he grew tired of all of the never ending practices that ate up most of his free time. When he got to HS, he gave up year round swimming and just swam for his HS team and summer league team. He had good enough times in the backstroke for Olympic qualification but was burned out by then on swimming. He is a tall young man and has the height and build for a swimmer. He has 2 little girls who are gymnast. He said he will never push them hard and wants them to have fun doing what they like.
