Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down What did you do in practice today? the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

    Hello Fly-Folks, One of my goals upon returning to swimming was to conquer 100m Fly along with 200 IM and 400 IM. Our coach has me in the lower IM lane and we do short fly sets 3 times per week such as 8x25 with a decent bit of rest. I seem to be doing better as I can, at least, finish the sets with what I believe to be decent form. The problem I have is shoulder pain. The pain is not during the fly set but rather it shows up 30 mins or so after the workout is over. The pain is directly over the crease of the armpit on the front of the shoulder. Strangely, its only on the left side. A friend who is a rehab PT has told me to heat-stretch-ice and eat ibuprofin like candy. He has no special knowledge of swimming so I thought I would ask here as I have searched the forums and not found much. Has anyone else experienced this type of pain? Will it diminish as I get in better shape (general fitness as well as shoulder specific drylands)? Fly must not win (again)... Bill
