Hi Sergei
For new paddlers, you're learning the technique at a relatively gentle pace, so my advice is to come try it out and see how you respond.
With regard to your shoulder, the correct technique for our stroke (different teams paddle different ways) is very much using your core and legs for power rather than your arms, though obviously we are lifting and re-entering the paddle but that movement comes from the core. We have professional coaches who work with us on correct technique and body position to avoid injuries.
We meet at 3.30 for warmups and head out around 4 - we train later in the afternoon because the sun is lower in the sky so it's actually cooler then, but we have to be back before the sun begins to set for safety reasons. It's actually been wonderful conditions lately with the cooler weather - long may it continue!
Hopefully we'll see you soon.
