I returned to swimming with a coach, going to meets with the masters team, second semester of 2004. The last time I had swum had been in 1968, at high school. Anyway, I am experiencing some right shoulder discomfort, in between workouts. I am also getting some paresthesia in both arms when swimming without breaks anything above 500 meters at a faster pace. To further confuse me, I did suffer a fall on to my right shoulder from a dirt bike on Feb. 8th. My group swims with a coach 4 times a week, usually doing no more than 2,000 meters. I swim on my own the other days, doing easy 1,000s or more with or without fins. What I am looking for is advice on stretches and tips in general. I also must say that most of my training is freestyle, although I do some butterfly laps and backstroke laps. Thanks for any help, billy fanstone (in Brazil)

hey Billy Fanstone, since you're swimming against all advice to the contrary, see what benefit you can get from swimming with closed fists, lightly closed fists. Take it easy. As for butterfly, try closed fists, along with your over-the-water recovery having your hands nearly touching your ears as they go forward over the water, instead of approaching the lane lines. Go easy, as you would if you were learning to walk again. Obviously, you can be trusted to know the beneficials, once you try them.
