He suggested a couple of modifications for my stroke and I have never had shoulder pain again.
Isn't it amazing how that works? And -- from what I have heard -- the modifications are not always that big, either.
I have been swimming year-round for 36 years without (knock on wood) serious shoulder problems. For that reason alone I resist stroke modifications; sure, I could probably be more efficient but I worry that changes would cause other problems.
When it comes to masters swimming, perhaps longevity is just as important as efficiency.
