Dynamic Shoulder Warmup for Competitive Swimmer:
http://www.carlsonmd.com/pdf/swimming-warm-up-stretches.pdf
Traditional pre-workout shoulder stretching is no longer encouraged for competitive swimmers. An active on-deck warm-up has been developed for swimmers to implement before workout and competition. Five activities are offered with pictures indicating the beginning and ending positions. The swimmer is instructed to complete 15 repetitions of each activity and then complete the entire group twice. The order of the activities is purposely designed to sequentially warm-up the tissues in increasingly elevated positions. Included are five stretches which are no longer advocated for the swimming community.
FINA video: Prevention of Shoulder Injuries:

The video illustrates exercises to strengthen the areas that stabilize the shoulder joint. These are the core muscles, the rotator cuff and the shoulder muscles. All are well illustrated in the video. The FINA Sports Medicine Committee hopes that this can be of use to athletes in the aquatic sports around the world. Shoulder Excercises Document
