Need to shock if using SWCG?

Yep, it' me! I get around.
You only really need to shock if there is persistent CC and that does not happen that often in a properly maintained pool, SWCG or not. Pool stores and chemical companies will tell you to shock weekly and they make a lot of profits selling you "shock" as if it were a special type of chlorine!
