Swimming with a Shoulder Injury

I was recently completing a 200m fly set, and when raising my arms for a pull stroke, something snapped or dislocated or something near the deltoid area of my shoulder, which eventually snapped back into place later on in the workout. This was about a week ago and the arm is still aggravated with any kind of swimming or sharp pulling motions. Do any of you have any workout ideas that I could possibly perform until I'm given the all clear by my doctor? Thanks! :)

  • Sounds like a partial dislocation (subluxation). This happened to me in 2005 and it tore my labrum. Give it some rest. I would not kick with a board at all. You can vertical kick with elbows tucked at your sides. If it doesn't feel better in a couple of weeks see an ortho doc. Once it is healed see a good PT re tightening and strengthening your shoulder girdle.
