i have read (here actually: www.swimdcac.org/.../article5.html) that the bench press does more harm than good for swimmers. what is everyone else's opinion (and experience)??

But do you think push-ups are substantially different?
I would say they are not very different at all.
Each of us should have an idea of what our shoulders are capable of dealing with. Additionally, we should be wise enough to listen to our bodies when they scream uncle. For me, bench pressing and push ups are not on the menu anymore.
