As a physical therapist with a specialty in orthopedics (and not geriatrics...not relevant to you), and having been a life long swimmer, find a Physical Therapist through the APTA ABPTS web site and find one with an Ortho or Sports specialty (OCS or SCS) in your area. I bet you, it's as simple as doing some near dynamic stretching, esp at your age. This is most certainly NOT related to RC issues. Good Luck.

You need to see a sports medicine doctor not a family doctor. I have had a sports medicine doctor every time I had a sports injury or pain. The result will be that you will be referred to a different physical therapist.

You are asking a bunch of people on an adult forum to problem solve for a teen age swimmers. This is not the best forum for you to get answers. You have no idea what kind of experience and training any of us have to offer ideas. Never a good idea when you have in person resources where you are. The answer to one of your questions is in your post. if parts of your arms feel tense, relax them. It is that simple. If your PT can't offer any ideas, find a different PT who has swimming background. This is what PTs go to school for. And, get another coach's perspective. You have all of the resources you need to figure this out. I agree with ORCA1946.
