Hi everyone. I have been doing the interval based workouts posted on the workout section and really enjoying them. However, whenever I try to move up to a faster interval (and add more yards) my left shoulder gets very sore. Does any one have suggestions on how I can strengthen my shoulders to help handle more yards?
There isn't a master's team where I live, but the age group couch has "stroke clinics" for adults that I have been going to once a week to make sure I am using good technique and am not injuring myself with strokes.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I looked into the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizing exercises, and they look like a lot of what I did when i dislocated my other shoulder. So I have started those exercises again. At one point, I had some elastic cords given to me by while i was in PT, but I have no clue where they are, so I am using therabands from an old ankle injury. Hopefully I will get some small, light weights to begin some of the weight exercises instead of just the band ones.
The posts Fortress referred to were interesting. I know I have always had very loose shoulders, to the extreme that the physical therapist did not want me to regain my original range of motion. She also nailed exactly where the pain is, right in the front of my shoulder.
Thanks for the great advice everyone!
