When I swim butterfly, a dull pain slowly develops on the inside of my shoulder blade on one side. It feels like something is being pinched. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Where to begin ... There are a zillion threads on shoulder pain, CoolUserName. Very cool, BTW. If you're having pain between your shoulder blades though that suggests you need to strengthen your scapular muscles. Are you doing RC and scapular strengthenging stuff before attempting this stroke? The relevant exercises are in all the shoulder threads. Weights? Are you stretching properly? Do you/have you done a lot of fly in the past? Stroke defects? Asked a PT for exercises? This could literally take all night, and I'm supposed to be getting to bed early. ROFL. Sorry you're in pain. Fly rocks. Wish I could do it more.
