Hello all!
Im Frank, im 26 and i have recently started swimming. I think i put too much heart in it, and i have ended with an injury in the right shoulder. I tend to breathe by this shoulder in free style.
I have the pain identified in this 2 movements:
1) When i cross my arms in front of me:

The more i try to cross the bad arm, the more it hurts
2)
Extend your arms to the front:

Now, rotate your hands so your thumbs point to the floor.
The more i try to point to the floor, rotating all the arm... it hurts more.
Im taking an antiinflamatory, apllying ice, and using an antiinflamatory ointment over the area.
1 week later, i still feel some pain, and i want advice about it... go to doctor? keep it up?
Pain is really soft except if i force the arm in the 1) and 2) situations, when it really hurts.
Thanks in advance!

I would also have a good coach look at your stroke. Many injuries are caused by poor mechanics in the water.
For example, smacking your hands together when you enter on fly or crossing your center line on entry during free can cause shoulder problems.
