I'm new at the butterfly stroke and struggle to do 6x33yds with a freestyle return(100 ft pool) in one workout. I do these with a full recovery (3 min). After that I'll have to switch to some other stroke because I'm pretty much shot.
What are typical workouts and distances that strong flyers do that I should try to build to? I'm thinking that 10x50's would be a great goal?
Since I don't swim with a group, not me. Fins really, really helped me at the beginning when I was just learning. I rarely use them for fly sets now.
ah ha! you've hit the nail on the head with my personal fin philosophy... you, leslie, swimmerlisa, and some others seem to have a balanced look at when fins are appropriate, and when they are not. i'm betting leslie and swimmerlisa don't use theirs for every single kick set, that you're not wearing them every time you do fly in practice, etc etc etc. unfortunately, too few masters have this enlightened approach to responsible fin use. ;)
peter, is "punch your lights out" really a zen phrase???
