how to train for 50 and 100 butterfly

here's a precious tip for anyone wanting to improve ability to swim BF at lower energy cost. I created this drill early '90s you'll see it's very simple. That really does 3 things (very well): - Improves balance - Improves timing of the two kicks and breathing relative to the undulation - Get you into a relaxed state of mind, some of it hopefully will transfer into your full stroke. I think it is self explanatory. I'd call this the 0-arm butterfly, as opposed to just body undulation. The later is often described with breathing patterns that don't fit the actual stroke. They do not make distinction between first and second kick if you will. There's a variation that is sometimes taught but I hate it. Too slow. (Turn down the sound, I am sorry) YouTube- Fly DrillSide Get to do this and you'll be able to master both breathing and arm recovery aspects. That will get you much further in term of distances.
