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 really don't think your shoulders should be sore all the time. You should swim every other day for awhile and/or mix in recovery only workouts. And lose the paddles.
I agree with Gull here...especially since I am just coming off a rotator cuff strain (canoeing injury). Paddles put even more strain on your shoulder muscles. Forget them if you are putting in 20K a week.
Also watch for over bench pressing and go easy on the military press.
