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

Question for the fliers – do you ever use fins when doing longer fly sets? Have you found them to help your endurance?
I'm with Chris & Fort on this one ... Like Chris I NEVER use fins with fly. I do not like that it changes my timing. I do kick fly with fins on occassion. Like Fort I do not do long fly sets. Usually not more than a 75 straight and rarely more than 200 at a time (as in 4 x 50 fly). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the 50 fly. I am on hiatus from the 100. I pretend the 200 does not exist.
My favorite tool for fly is the snorkel. I use it for drills all the time. That way I can focus on the drill and not worry about the breath. I do a ton of kicking with the snorkel LCM in the summer ... good stuff.
