Ok...Here's the short verison of the lead up to my question. I dislocated, well suplexed (popped out but popped in on it's own), my shoulder about a month ago when I was doing butterfly (I promise my form has improved since then:D ). I took a week off from swimming, work and everything and my shoulder was for the most part healed, it only bothers me every once in a while..mostlyat work. But today when I was swimming, it kinda started grinding and hurting when I started my recovery on all my strokes. Any ideas about what to do? Drills to make it stronger or anything would be good. When I do dryland I spend some time focusing on making it stronger...benchpress and such, so it should be getting stronger, so I was surprised when it hurt today. Maybe it's the changing weather;). Im gonna let it rest for a day or two and ice it regularly, but when I get back into the pool it would be nice to not have this problem again. Thanx for your help!!

I would say that you are right on the money! You definately should take preventative measures. The article mentioned earlier in this post talks about shoulder exercises for the uninjured athlete so definately do them and save yourself the pain and trouble. And take it easy while your still new to swimming....I thought I was since I have swam before but I guess that that doesn't count, apparently I pushed a little to hard.
