Hi all,
I've been swimming regularly since June and have developed an annoying clicking sound in both shoulders. I've started doing some rotator cuff exercises witha theraband daily to try to alleviate this. Anyone else have experience with this?

And I can control it significantly by taking more time making my catch, and applying no pressure until my arm is in a stable position.
Great advise. Pulling too early in the stroke can lead to problems due to stress on the joints when the arm is stretched out. It's better to 'fall into the stroke' and wait until the hands are done scooping water during the catch... before force is applied.
Aside from this...Keeping the hand out front for a split second longer will get rid of any bubbles...lowers on-coming~frontal resistance....and results in "swimming taller".
