When sprinting, you are bound to have less body rotation than when you are swimming for distance. How do you keep your elbow below the plane of your back on recovery when your body is traveling in a relatively flat manner? Or do you?

The reason I was asking is because when I saw myself in this photo..(lane #4 and leading :) )..it appears as if my body roll is nearly non-existent (although after closer inspection I do see my shoulder is up and out of the water). After my races that day my RH shoulder (I breathe to the left) felt a little fatigued and sore, mostly my tricep and lat area. I think if I was creating an impingement issue with my stroke I would have pain that was localized in my shoulder proper and not just soreness in other muscles.
