I am trying to increase volume and swim about 15-20K a week. Most of these yards a hard with not alot of drill yardage. I have sore shoulders all the time. Not injured, but sore and very tired. I have to be carefull how I sleep on them and not to put strain on them doing mundane daily activity.
....Is this normal?
I suppose it depends on what you mean by "sore" (and by "normal"), but I wouldn't call sore shoulders normal. Common, maybe, but also a warning sign of potential injury.
If you haven't, do consider incorporating some rotator cuff strengthening exercises into your routine before you develop clicking, sharp pain, or pain that gets worse when you are lying still trying to sleep. Other threads on these forums have discussed such exercises and a search should help you out.
