Despite the fact that I have been swimming forever (played Div I water polo in college) I never learned to swim butterfly very well (at all). I'm recovering from shoulder surgery (old injury -- torn labrum/stretched capsule) and eager to begin swimming again. When I am as close to 100 percent as possible, is it still possible to learn to become a decent flyer? I'm 46, pretty overweight, and want this comeback to be my last one. (I think the local team must be fed up with me showing up every other year for a few months then disappearing). And I'd like to be somebody who does every stroke, every set, finally.
Any and all advice is welcome.

4 strokes???
Most of the people who talk about 4 strokes cannot even swim 1 swim stroke correctly, I am only a 2 stroke swimmer and very limited as to how far I swim these two strokes now. No longer 5 miles, 10 miles, 25 or 30 mile front crawl swims. I just race 50s and 100s (not miles) just yards or meters and train 1000 meters a day.
