I have been swimming for years on and off now, and every single time that the butterfly came up in prax, i would frieght and just do free back or brest. However, recently my coach got on me and I'm so glad that she did. She forced me to do the butterfly and I ended up being a natural at it. My first time through I did the 50 Fly in the low 27's. Now that I know that I am my own worst enemy in the pool, not the butterfly stroke, I actually enjoy it.
The issue is that I can only go 50 meters of butterfly before I have to switch to free or back due to becoming very tired in my sholders and abs. I want to work up to doing the 100 fly and the 200 fly.
So, my question is, are there any dryland exercises that I can do, in my house per se, that will help me strengthen the various muscles that are used in Fly?
Since it is Halloween weekend, we could use a good horror flick. Post the video to scare us.
OK!! :popcorn:

I'm in Lane 4, That Guy's in Lane 3...Allen Stark is doing butterfrog over in Lane 2.
It really isn't that much of a horror flick, but it was the 4th event of 5 for both of us in the LCM Distance Pentathalon. The 400 IM was last of course!!
There were only something like 38 people in this meet, so it was basically a swim, warmdown a couple lengths, get out, what lane am I in???, stand up, dive in again.
