I've had the problem running but never in the water. Any chance you just got something stuck to your skin?

no, just normal skin here. It is at that very top of my armpit - It seems like contact is inevitable there during the finish of my stroke.

shaving complications?
It is better to hurt from doing something than from doing nothing...
First Triathlon (400m/20k/2.75mile) 1:39.15 including 33 minutes in the water
I got in the pool yesterday and did a straight 1000 then about 1200 worth of drills and I thought my stroke was feeling really good. By the end I was getting some bad chafing under my armpit where my lats rub on the inside of my arm. And no, I'm not muscle bound, so that isn't the problem (5'8" - 140). Anyone else have this? I have had this problem before in races. Should I work on my stroke (I dont know where) or just put on some body glide?
