Are shoulder injuries caused solely by improper stroke mechanics? Can we avoid all pain using perfect technique? Can we throw away the ice pack forever? Or can shoulder pain be caused by other factors as well? Vote if you have an opinion.

How do you know I haven't been a swim coach? Are you on Terry's payroll?
Thanks for the thoughtful answer. I will have to mull it over some more. But I can safely say that I do not fall into the category of swimmers that are unwilling to make changes. I also do not fall into the category of swimmers that are doing fly incorrectly according to your description and my own knowledge of the stroke. As you yourself pointed out, I think it is difficult to be an elite flyer if you're doing the stroke wrong.
