Well, I actively try to avoid fly (can't swim it worth a darn), but I still have low-grade shoulder problems. Lately I think it's been caused in part by trying to improve my elbow position (more EVF-ish and with a small outsweep at the start to improve my catch). I've cut down on my yardage and frequency, but kept swimming. Last night at practice I actually got in 3400 yards and today my shoulders both feel pretty good.
I do like my zoomers, lost my paddles a couple years ago and never bothered to buy a replacement, and rarely use kickboard (unless I want to do kayak drills, which for some reason I really like - heckuva good way to take some of the boredom out of kick sets!).
