Looking for some advice on a shoulder problem. I just recently increased my yardage from 6000-8000 per week to 11,000 per week. I was doing some breaststroke pull with paddles and the next day right shoulder was hurting a bit. It hurts quite a bit when I move through internal rotation so I think it is a rotator cuff/anterior deltoid. Any advice on rehabing? Do I stop training, or just back off?

If cutting back on swimming doesn't work, stop swimming.
But this doesn't mean stop kicking. Unless you absolutely have to, keep going to practice, otherwise psychological aspects exacerbate physical ones.
And for once I don't think Jim is joking and I agree, Greg should stop doing things that hurt his shoulder until his shoulder feels better. Everything else is fair game.
