Hello there.
I once (for a while) had this problem when I swam in college and it kinda began up again lately at masters practice.
This happens especially on free and back... I feel as though someone is pushing me back while I swim... I can't get my arms to get going faster as well. With having my shoulder probs, I've been concentrating on technique more and I don't know why I just can't get my arms moving... a little bit before college, my pace was always like a sprint... it's a very strange feeling, and I don't know what to do about it.
I've been lifting light weights and running on an eliptical machine... and that's about it... any opinions about what I should do?
Thanks a bunch... S.

I was in a bit of a rut before my shoulder injury and taking two weeks off has really changed my feel for the water and my ability to alter my stroke mid-lap. Perhaps going to kick drills for a week might give your upper body some much needed rest, especially your shoulders, and allow you to charge to the head of the pack once again.
