shoulder clicking

Thanks rtodd, I have no intention of quitting, I'm just starting to get faster and stronger. I swim ~ 3 days a week. I've been crosstraining with running and gymnastics during the rest of the week and so far the plan's been pretty good, letting me work out 5 or 6 days a week with no injuries. I started out 2 years ago and had to quit because of an acident. Now that I'm back in I really don't want to get forced out of the water by taking a strained shoulder and making it an injured one. So I'll be trying these starting yesterday: www.usaswimming.org/.../ViewMiscArticle.aspx And I'll be trying Terry's advice about delaying the catch, steep entry angle, and stable arm position for the pull. I know I begin that when the arm is still essentially straight overhead. Hopefully between those and throwing some back and *** into the workouts I can beat the shoulders without having to cut back much, although I'm taking a few days off no to let the inflammation and soreness go down.
