Hi Im New
here
Ive started swimming a couple of weeks ago
so that means Im new in swimming in general (but i know how to swim//by that i mean i wont drown,,, but dont know a lot about swimming)
I m swimming frontcrawl mostly
dont swim much- because of my poor technique and breathing dificulties,,m, ***..still learning:)
but Im woried about one thing
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
Any Info, Advice?
Anything???
Thank you

i too belive swimming to be the sport with the lowest rate of injurys
but my shoulders are really not feeling OK
im sure my techique is bad-- what is understandable as i am still learning
and i ve been swimming for short time
very strange indeed
they feel kind of "weak" (besides the poping and clicking sounds)
i feel like there is something pushing them foreward (like there is no muscles in the frot of my shoulder and those in the back are pushinh my shoulders right in front of me)
mostly when im sitting, i cant find the right or comftorable positon
even thoe i try to have very good posture
i feel like i could jam my shoulder in an forward position (and this causes pain) they "JUST" feel unstable
i feel like i shoud stop swimming for a bit
but i refuse to do that
because i ve been in the pool for such a short time
can you give me any advice on streching, strenghtening the shoulders/ any swimming muscle group and any more advice on when to to the exerciese
i know that the best would be to join the swimm group like the Matt S said but thet is out of the question i must say ( for other higher forces reasons... :(
thanks
