Before I get started, I just want to say that I'm already aware of how nothing can be better than simply swimming the stroke.
Anyways, I swim at my city's community center pool and it is quite crowded in the lap lanes, on top of that, the people are not exactly polite. I need to work on my butterfly(and other strokes too, but mostly fly) for when my school's swim season starts, so it's pretty important.
Does anyone know any good drills or weight sets that I can possibly do to improve my butterfly without much time in the water? (I'm kinda starting to get sick of playing frogger every day trying to avoid people)
Thanks!
Oh, on a side note, whenever I swim for a while, I get really noticeable dark circles under my eyes, does anyone know the cause?
My buddy recommended "Swedish" goggles, are those any good?
Kind of agree with Jazz on the snobby quasi purist attitude about swedes.
I don't know about snobby, haha.
I've been wearing swedes for over 15 years. I always recommend them to people with the warning that they take getting used to. When you're used to rubber/foam padding, they will feel harsh around the eyes at first. Maybe for a couple weeks. Most importantly, they eliminated water leakage for me. They're also cheap and easily replaceable. If you forgot to bring your goggles to a meet or they break, swedes are always available. They're also super quick and easy to adjust. No other goggle is so versatile.
I am thinking of switching meet goggles, but I'll probably always wear swedes for practice.
