So, I just got back into swimming after a shoulder surgery (and about 6 years).
My surgery was a simple (if any shoulder injury could be simple) tightening of the "sheeth" that encompasses your shoulder itself. So I have limited movement. I have noticed that there are techniques that I'm going to have change and fix.
Anyone come back into swimming after a shoulder surgery and have some advise of things to help, techniques to change, and stregthening that might work? I'm just trying to skip most of the trial and error if someone's already done that for me. :)

My orthopedist suggested that I continue lifting weights 3x/week the rest of my life using the same exercises I did in post-op physical therapy (modifed to use what the gym had available).
That lasted a few months, but I do try to get back to it. It seemed like sound advice.
I had open repairs for dislocations of my L shoulder and L knee 20 years ago. Both the "bad" and "good" sides are supposed to get exercised for better symmetry.
