Body image concerns are highly prevalent in aquatics, where body exposure and performance expectations can intensify pressure on athletes. These factors increase the risk of body dissatisfaction and eating disorders, making body image a critical health and well-being issue across all aquatic disciplines.
Our focus is on education, awareness, and early intervention—promoting healthy relationships with the body, reducing stigma, and encouraging supportive environments. By addressing body image openly and responsibly, we help protect athlete health, support sustainable performance, and reduce the risk of long-term physical and mental hardships.
