Sore shoulders normal?

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?

  • No clicking, but the left is a bit more sore than the right. I am leftie and my left shoulder and elbow are bit cooked from throwing a baseball and football. I stopped lifting upper body over a year ago. Shoulders are too sore to lift and I feel like I can overpower the shoulders if I do weights and really get hurt. I'll incorporate more zoomers into my workouts. Maybe I'll try to reduce free to 50-60 of total yards. I've been slow to raise yardage and have been carefull. My goal is a sub minute 100 free for this fall and hopefully closer to a 55 for the spring.
