When I was swimming the 100 fly this morning, my shoulder decided we were done about 60 yards in. I really wanted to stop so that I didn't hurt it, but I didn't know the proper approach. I ended up just finishing and trying to keep my stroke legal, but it was slow and painful. Should I have just stopped and swam back to the wall?

That really sucks!!
I would say though if it's incredibly painful and you are in fear for your well being then swim back. I'd rather have a DQ then a totally blown shoulder.
That's hard though, since we've been taught to finish what you start and percervere through pain and whatnot, but if you think it might be serious then it's not worth going on. It'd be better to stop than have shoulder problems for the rest of your life.
