While swimming laps at a nice steady pace today it felt like my shoulder poped out of place. cant exactly figure out where the pain has come from. and which angle it hurts most damn it i'm going to have to rest it. is this a common problem i've been under taking stroke correction but could it be my stoke?

My shoulder popped out or dislocated 13 times in one swimming season in high school. I had damaged my rotator cuff by doing the bench press incorrectly. I would have it looked at. Regardless of your technique your shoulder shouldn't pop out of the joint. Had I seen the doctor sooner rather than later I would have full range of motion of my shoulder. I only have about 60%.

You need to have it checked out. But start a shoulder rehab program for your rotator cuff muscles. They are the major stabilizers of the shoulder.

Ouch!!  Rotator cuff is a major pain in the butt.. (well actually the shoulder....) Best thing is to find a good physio who understands the needs of a triathlete and can design you a programme to strengthen it. Icing, anti inflams and correct strengthening exercises are a must.

I carried a 'bad' shoulder for 5 (!!) years not realising it was an RC injury (partly due to inept physio's doing the diagnosis). Only after proper rehab did I come right and I have not had a recurrence. (NB my partner has a RC injury as we speak, so I've been preaching this at home too!!)
