Thumb joint pain, esp. after swimming /Proper hand entry

I'm pretty sure I'm beating up my hand during entry on freestyle. I don't think it's the pull that's doing it. I've started to get arthritis these past few years in my thumb joint, after I began to swim more seriously, which i didn't have before.  I notice now the olympic swimmers are doing a kind of "goose head" entry with their hands. Comments?
