Consult a sports medicine doctor and find out how to strengthen your shoulder muscles.
Also could be some kind of nerve problem, but I suspect it's a strength problem.
Good Luck

If you haven't worked out those muscles for a while then that seems sort of normal because if you stop working out for a while and then start again your muscles will be in slight pain. But go see a doctor or something just to be sure.

Well before you do anything major make sure it is fully healed or it can go from slight pain to a shoulder blow-out. But you have to make it a necessity to stretch out your shoulders, even when you don't have a meet. Do it every night before you go to bed and i guarantee that your shoulders won't cause you any more problems. hope that helps

You need stretching. Try this: Place the back of your left hand on your left hip. Reach across your body with your right hand and grasp your left elbow. Pull your left elbow across your body to the right. Hold for at least 30 seconds. Do each arm 3 times.

You are using your arms too much to get speed. Kick with your legs more. Also be sure to do lots of dry land training. Build up your shoulder strength to prevent injury.

considering you have purely started swimming, and purely your left deltoid(i think of that's what your attempting to describe) is hurting, i could say it particularly is led to via your respiratory. i prefer to declare which you probable breathe the different stroke, and consistently breathe to the impressive part of the physique, good? If it particularly is not the case you probable do no longer ought to study something of this and could purely bypass talk over with the college's actual therapist. If i'm close on my wager then right this is the reason and area of the answer. in maximum cases, while a swimmer takes a breathe, he/she pulls deeper and tougher with the arm on the choice part that they are respiratory on. while repeated repeatedly that shoulder will at last get sore. one thank you to ward off it is to respire each and every 3. i know it particularly is problematic even though it particularly is going to surely help interior the long-term. I knew somewhat some swimmers that ought to purely breathe the different stroke and then a year out of highschool and that they went in for shoulder surgical treatment. i grew to become into broker of that habit while i grew to become into in center college, and that i'm grateful my coach stopped me. i could purely consistently commerce the part I took a breath on and my shoulders are jacked, and if it wasn't for the respiratory each and every 3 i could have had to connect acquaintances for surgical treatment. the different area to assisting with the discomfort, is to truly concentration on shoulder stretches, to help your muscle tissue relax, and prepare for the pounding you would be giving them. i could nevertheless recommend chatting with the pt, or maybe your coach, so as which you would be able to talk over with somebody in individual with reference to the trials and spot in the event that they have any concepts. Oh and as much as I hate to declare this, in case you take exhilaration in swimming you're purely going to ought to settle for which you will harm your shoulders, it particularly is purely what aggressive swimming does. you will purely ought to settle on how lots you prefer to wreck them.
