    For me, butterfly has gone from seeming like a battle to becoming much more fluid. My endurance has improved, and I simply enjoy the act of swimming the stroke a great deal more. When done properly, it feels and looks like the most beautiful stroke of the four. Funny because I approach this stroke the same way as you do. And I also think that it is (by far) the most fascinating to experiment and look at. A lot of folks miss this as they are put too much energy to it. When done at endurance pace, Butterfly is a slow stroke. If you want to book sets of 100s or 200s, better let the breaststrokers go first. Tonight main set was (to a stroke of our choice) 200 fast some longish cool down 4x50 fast some longish cool down 4x50 fast I couldn't wait but committing to the first 200. Since it was the first time I was increasing the pace a bit this year (I'd usually book my 200s easy in 3:40 roughly) I was very conservative. No kick. But the undulation was still there and the first 100 was very easy. Anyway long story short I saved too much because I was able to sprint the last 50. Finished in 3:05 - I was pleased, and ready for the bunch of 50s. - - - Easy, your English is great already. "Take it easy" means... well. I should I put this. Be cool, stay on the relaxed side. Anyway, your thread is very fun.
