A long while ago, I bookmarked a page on the USA Swimming website which had a bunch of shoulder stretching. I think this was it:
www.usaswimming.org/ViewMiscArticle.aspx
Alas, it seems they've completely redone their site, and the above URL just redirects me to a resources page, from which I've been unable to locate the original. I'm about to head off to the Seatback Machine to see if it has a copy, but thought I'd check here in parallel. Thx...
Quickly answering my own question, here's the last archived copy:
web-beta.archive.org/.../ViewMiscArticle.aspx
Does it still exist outside of the Wayback Machine?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Less than 2 weeks ago I searched the USA swimming site for the same article to use as the basis for a clinic for lap swimmers at my health club. I did not have the tech skills you have and came up empty. You totally came to my rescue!

Anna Lea, neither of those are the article I was looking for, but the more the merrier in my opinion on this subject. I'll take a look at them over the weekend. I'm not at home right now, but will see if I can download the whole kit-n-kaboodle from www.archive.org and shoot you a copy.
I was unable to get that link to load (it keeps timing out).
Are either of these the article that you were searching for?
Shoulder Injury in Competitive Swimming: Strategies for Early Identification and Prevention
Swimmer’s Shoulder – The Scientific Approach to the Shoulder
