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?
It is not muscle soreness I am complaining about although I have that (I never complain about muscle soreness). I think it is more like mild inflamation or tendonitis. No clicking though. I went through a clicking problem over a year ago because I was fairly new at swimming. I broke through that and now just have general soreness because I have slowly been upping the yardage.
Like you mention I am slow to warm up, but can do the workout without a problem.
I was just curious if most swimmers walked around with some discomfort in their shoulders.
I am doing doubles 3-4 times a week. My workouts are short though, about an hour each so the yardage is kept down to about 1500-2000 a session.
