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

I actually think the 100 fly is a very good test for folks. I had to swim the 200 fly at every meet in college and I never, ever enjoyed it. The piano always fell on the 3rd 50. I'm planning to tackle it soon as a masters swimmer, on my own terms, and plan to make peace with it.
As an aside, I started swimming more *** after realizing that in a 200 IM, a fellow competitor that got 5th at nats that year and I stayed even on the *** leg. So I dabble in ***, in IM's and in mid distance free. It's more interesting to swim more things - why limit yourself? *** and fly do have much in common - they are both short axis strokes and take more energy to swim than back and free.
*** and fly have alot in common but it is weird how people are fly/backstrokers or back/breaststrokers. I finally met some fly/breaststrokers and felt like I saw the ocean part or something. I swim the 200 back and breastroke to help out my IMs. I haven't had the desire to do a 100 back lately. The breaststroke is just a fun/no pressure event for me.
