So, I'm a bit scared to try to learn Fly

I've heard a lot of stories about how if you don't know how to do fly properly you could seriously wreck your shoulders. One story one of my friends told me that a friend of hers dislocated her shoulder in the middle of a race. I do want to try it but I'm a bit intimidated to tell the truth. Plus, I'll look ridiculous the first time I try :blush:. Total embarrassment I'd predict. Any tips to get over the fear?

    When someone tries to explain it to me I get a bit confused as to how your pull is suppose to be done. I've seen people do it with both straight arms and bent arms. I'm guessing most of the pull strength comes from the back arm muscles and some chest muscles? The timing also seems very difficult to get down as I haven't developed that good of a dolphin kick so it feels like I go nowhere with a lot of effort.
