I have no coach, because we have no masters program. I use my own experince, this board and other web sites to find a work out. I do however have the opportunity for help with our local high school swim coach. Who is a master swimmer and a really good coach.
What does everyone do?
Do you coach yourself are you in a masters program?
And how many times a week do you swim and how far?
I'm up to 2000 yds each swim, swimming 3 times per week.

What is your medical basis for this assertion? Shoulders get tired with swimming, that's a fact, and it's not due solely to poor biomechanics. It's no different from any other sport and the injuries unique to them, knees in football and baseball, backs in golf, shoulders in baseball/softball as well. Certainly better technique can ward off injury and that is the first step but it is naive to believe that biomechanics explain away all soreness/fatigue/injury.
I'm sure not gonna tell Jack Nicklaus he has poor biomechanics and that is why he has back problems.
The sports/injuries that you mention bear little similarity to the dynamics of swimming. Throwing a baseball/football, swinging a driver create a much greater shock to the body than any motion I repeat in the pool. (And running into 300+ lb linemen......)
