Will everyone get some shoulder problem from swimming?
True or false? If not, how do you not get them in swimming?

I've wanted to swim for sometime but I have some shoulder problems, and I'm not sure what. I've seen docs and none know what to tell me, and it worries me if I should even attempt to swim..

RE: Will everyone get some shoulder problem from swimming?
Proper technique is crucial. Do you know why you have shoulder problems? Is it an old injury, or do you just have too much range of motion? Strength training under the guidance of a physiotherapist and instruction from a qualified coach will help you ease into swimming with less risk of injury. It's like any other sport, you don't want to jump into huge distances right off the bat.
