The Butterfly Lane

Butterfly, beautiful to watch, difficult to train. We SDK off every wall. We're most likely to smack hands with each other and those beside us. Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down What did you do in practice today? the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

  • Ahelee, as always, you rock. Thanks for sharing the tips with us! Thanks to those who shared if/how/when you use fins. I've always been of the mind to modify workouts until I can swim or kick them without equipment, but maybe I will give fins a try and test the results. When you use fins with fly, make sure you work on driving forward and don't use them to get out of the water much further than you need to. You don't need to have your belly button out of the water to breath - and for many, that is a temptation. I use fins with fly some, but find they will support some lazy habits that swimming fly without will not. So I recommend some of each.
