Are shoulder injuries due solely to improper stroke mechanics

Whoa! You mean there are good lawyers? What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? I clearly should have told Chlorini I was a lawyer in a PM. I know that joke, Gull. Answer: A good start. Here's another: How can you tell a lawyer is lying? (2 possible answers) Terry: I cannot bring myself to write a reply brief tonight. I will just say that I don't believe I fall into that close-minded "swimming culture" you've mentioned. I also have never, ever suggested anything in the way of self-interest on your part. To the contrary, I think (and have said) that it is admirable that you offer practical, technical and training advice to everyone on the forum. It's obvious you put a lot of time and thought into it, and I am sure it benefits many of us. I count myself in that group. I am still doing that freestyle drill you recommended to me. I also think your experience provides valuable perspective and insight. Who could disagree with that? I was just being feisty on the "most" injuries are caused by poor technique point. I'm allowed to quibble with you on this, and I'm apparently not the only one, judging from the poll results thus far. (It doesn't look like you voted!) In fact, everyone has a viewpoint here. :woot: Mine is that my current shoulder problems are not due to poor technique and that other people's problems may not be either. Race ya in fly anytime. (I'm giving you the distance free and open water...)
