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?

Hmm.. I still think "mitigating other causative factors better than anything you can do" is different from the position that technique is the "primary" or "pre-eminent" causative factor. The first goes to mitigation after causation, the second goes to initial proximate causation. I think perhaps, consistent with TI principles of mindfulness, you might not want to let the professed "mindset" get too "set." Why, I myself, tried to do that Michael Phelps breathing every stroke fly for awhile as an experiment, but I was just slower that way. And remember, despite all my teasing, I did try butterfrog! :yawn: quote]
I think that everyone’s case is different. As humans we are all made up differently and that's what makes us great.
I too have clicking and pain in my shoulders. I have always been a butterflyer. I have had my stroke technique filmed and dissected at both the high school and collegiate level. My technique has always received high marks with no real need for improvement. I also used to concentrate on strengthening my shoulder and leg muscles all the time. So this just shows that even if you do everything right you can still develop problems. I suggest not overdoing and consult a physician for a diagnosis.
