1,000th 1650 FLY, Where will she go now?

www.wenatcheeworld.com/.../ Here is a success story of a woman who swim with me every morning in my Masters program here in Wenatchee, WA. She just completed her 1000th 1650 Fly this morning. What an achievement!! :thewave: She is really an amazing person, and definitely an inspiration to watch. When I know I'm having a tough time, I just look over at what she is doing, and then realize that anything can be possible. :cheerleader: Congratulations Peony Munger!! :bow: :bow: :bow:

    This kind of annoys me. There is a reason USMS allows this kick and it is part of our rule book and USA Swimming's rule book. Fly can be quite challenging for many older swimmers and the only way they can do it is with this kick. Agreed. Some people don't have the range of motion in their lower backs anymore to do the dolphin motion, so they use the breastroke kick. This is legal in masters. If a person swims a fly race with this kick, finishes the race without getting dq'd for something else, then they have swam butterfly.
