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!

I have the dang loose shoulders too, loose everything. I had to give up practicing shiatsu because my thumbs bend at the first joint at a 90 degree angle! I'm Gumby.
One thing I feel compelled to point out, is if you have loose shoulder joints you should do everything you can to avoid side sleeping. Train yourself to sleep on your back with your arms down at your sides. It helps ALOT.
