Thank you Fort......have been following the other threads, too, still spending $99 on something makes me think twice......on the other hand, I NEED work on my Dolphin kick in fly. The arm strength is there, but when I was a kid (did not swim for 35 years) it was the core strength that helped me swim butterfly. Really want to get that effortless feeling back into my fly so any prop that helps me reach that goal is money well spent!
Funny how swimming after a 35 year break, you find that strokes you hated as a kid are now your best strokes, and strokes that were your strength back then are not so good now......and of course goals are different now. Swimming more for fitness (I don't think I'll ever see those times again) than competition.
An MF is a big ticket item, but it was worth it for me. You can also work on your core strength with a serious dryland program. That will help your fly too. I try to forget all my youth times. They seem pretty irrelevant to me. We're just at a different place in life with different bodies. But I still suck at the same stroke I sucked at as a kid. No change there. :rofl:
