    The two biggest contributors to shoulder pain I personally had were 1) impingement due to crossover beneath my body, and 2) attempting to pull hard too early in the catch phase, rather than completing the catch and accelerating through a proper pull.

    So many swimmers have shoulder problems... this is so important!

    I love scapula pushups! I've recently learned about them and love them. It feels so good on your back. I have a ton of stress between my shoulder blades and my spine and these are fantastic for therm. Also cat cow is good for learning how to find that little pocket to breathe for breaststroke to not lift your head too high.

    This summer I noticed pain in my shoulder but I identified it as overreaching during the recovery of the freestyle stroke. So be sure not to do stuff your shoulder (plane of scapula) really can't do often or with too much load. With better rotation I fixed my problem.

    I’m at my late 30s and just started learning swimming.. this video is so useful as I may have developed some shoulder pain and it is definitely my poor freestyle technique. Thanks for the info.

    Great video, super technical look at repetitive shoulder injuries is a good idea, as a D1 swimmer I can tell you I saw lots of people leave swimming one to two years into a career because of busted shoulders, it's pretty sad really.

    nice video! I had an left shoulder injury recently and did only kicks for few days. I believe it was due to my bad technic, my right hand side technique is good but not my left hand side. Now im improving my left hand side techniques

    I really appreciate this video. I swim regularly and started back last week after a month off. I feel this ache in my shoulder at night and now I know what it is from. I will definitely work on strengthening my shoulder with the exercises.

    I wasn't rotating during freestyle and backstroke.
    After learning to rotate, the shoulders healed.
    I also have naturally weak shoulders and prior injuries, so I've incorporated rotor cuff physical therapy exercises in to my weightlifting routines.

    تناول المقطع إصابات الكتف لدى السباحين وهي إصابات منتشرة بينهم بنسبة تصل إلى ٦٦ % وترجع هذه الاصابات لعدة أسباب منها التكنيك الضعيف فالماء وسط كثيف جدا والأخطاء التكنيكية لن تؤثر على السرعة فقط بل سوف تتسبب بإصابات ومن هذه الأخطاء تجاوز خط منتصف الجسم بعد دخول الذراع في الماء
    وقد يكون السبب أيضا اختلال التوازن العضلي كان تكون قويا في الجزء الأمامي لكن الظهر ضعيف وهكذا
    ومن الأسباب عدم الاستماع للجسم فالجسم المرهق يحتاج للراحة عليك عدم إرهاق نفسك
    ومن الأسباب أيضا عدم وجود خطة علمية للتدريب وكل شيء يتم بشكل عشوائي
    ومن الأسباب متابعة التدريب أثناء الإصابة فيتفاقم الوضع ولا تتم مراجعة الطبيب
    كما أن الإصابات لا تقتصر على الكتف فهناك إصابات في الرقبة والظهر والركبتين ولا شك أن ممارسة تمارين الاستطالة خارج الماء تقلل من حدوث هذه الإصابات المتنوعة

    Might as well give feedback. I started to have shoulder pain recently. I worked on the recovery phase. That was not useless, but was also not the issue. Turns out I have been generating almost all power from deltoids during pull phase (so shoulders). Wrong muscle group. Most power should come from latissimus dorsi (and pectoral). It is crazy that you can seemingly accomplish the same movement via entirely different group muscles. That information was hard to find. I have strong shoulders from years of push ups and pull ups, so I used that. And that got me fast (28s 50m waterstart). But that was wrong. Shoulders are only for stabilization. If that can help.

    I'm an 9 time Ironman, and recently have found that pain is coming through my left shoulder only. I believe that your comments about "overuse" specifically touched me and will be focusing on the drills, rest and recovery. I've been concentrating on Bike/Run and rested the swim for about a month now and will be getting back to swimming soon. IM's are primarily freestyle. Is there a better stroke to ease back into than FS??

    Thanks so much for this video! I've recently developed some minor shoulder pain which seems to match "swimmer's shoulder". Since I am almost exclusively swimming for my workouts, I probably have some muscle imbalances. I'm definitely going to add these dryland trainings to my routine and reduce my swimming volume a bit to see if it helps. I may consult with a doctor and physical therapist as well for some individualized remediation.

    Do the catch stroke after your recovery hand pass ur shoulder, basically before it hits the water. This also makes you faster and prevent the shoulder injuries.
