Shoulder pain

I am experiencing some mild shoulder pain on the front of my right front shoulder. It hurts if I press on it with some firmness. I feel it when I swim but it's not overwhelming. I'm laying off the weights in the gym until this feels better. I haven't done anything in the gym since Wednesday last week so I don't think this is recent. I swam on Friday but it didn't start bothering me until late Saturday. Any suggestions?

    Rotator cuff tendinitis usually arises from impingement, a situation that is created at least in part by muscle imbalance. As Fort posted, you need to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles with specific exercises (nicely described in the USA Swimming article). Otherwise the problem will become chronic.
