Hi,
I have a big red rubbing mark on the front of my right shoulder, basically the whole front of the delt, when I get out of the pool after a freestyle session.
Its rubbing off my jaw line stubble somewhere I think. Its been happening since I returned to swimming, (i stopped at 13/14 before stubble was an issue!). I want to address this issue now and I really thought about it while swimming last night and couldnt identify when exactly it was happening. I've tried shaving my jaw closer, to no avail. I think the contact is at some point in the downstroke or the catch anyway.
Has anyone else (guys obviously!) had this issue and solved it? Can anyone suggest a technical flaw that might be causing it and how to correct it. Might my hand entry be to close to the centre line?
thanks for any advice!

I have one of those jobs where I rarely see clients in person so I have a tendency to not shave for a little longer than I should, but when I do I run into the same problem. My stubble burns a hole in my general shoulder region after a long freestyle workout.
The way I see it you have 2 options:
1. grow a mountain man beard
2. use a little body glide or some other swim lubricant on the spot that's chafing
