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! :)

    To me, doing pt to "strengthen the shoulder" doesn't always make sense. If they said it more accurately it would be "Strengthen the postural and auxilliary muscles taht will protect you from injury." When I used to walk 4 miles a day, and take ballet and African dance classes, I had a similar reaction to a PT that told me they needed to strengthen my leg muscles. The PT worked.
