  • Really? In all the time I've been reading your blog, I've never noticed this. I've got to re-think my fly training strategy! Really. And I think most conventional swimming "musts" could use some re-examining. I do fly drills and fly kicking with and without fins. But I always swim fly with fins. It began as a shoulder paranoia practice. But, in reality, as a result, I think always using fins has made me faster (better streamlines, better body position, better kick, etc.). Here's another unconventional practice. Most people train fly or free for fly. I train dolphin kick for fly. I do very little fly or free in practice.
