Im geting "strange reactions in my shoulder/s
They "pop" a lot , sometimes even hurt a bit
but very uncomfortable
i ALWAYS had those popping/ cracking sounds in my shoulders
waaay back years before swimming 9 i have/had them in other joints...>>spine knee sometime.... when streching and warming up after rest etc)
but they have NEVEr been this much "distraction" so normaly im woried... I m starting to feel very unplesent
Like i said Im new
and to make long story short >>> swimming IS A MUST HAVE
because of other situation... my life depends on it

Swimming is actually a really safe sport. There are much fewer injuries in swimming than in just about any other sport. The only common injury in swimming is shoulder problems, commonly called swimmer's shoulder. This is usually caused by a combination of overuse and bad technique. If you swim more than once a day with bad technique, you will get swimmer's shoulder eventually. If you swim a few times a week with great technique, you are much less likely to get an injury.
