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?
Unfortunately a snorkel is required but doing dolphin kick with hands at the sides works for me. I feel it was responsible for accomplishing a fairly decent 25m fly time the first time...
Someone over on the Butterfly Lane suggested doing lots of dolphin kicking with arms held to your side.
I'm a "fly" newbie, only having learned back in June of this year, but I've continued working on my kick during every workout and slowly but surely, I'm starting to see results. And, I think using a snorkel (or "dorkel" as some like to call it) makes all the difference. I can really focus on my kick without having to come up for air.
