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?

I, at 55, have finally begun to "master" butterfly, thanks to the expert coaching I received at SwimFest '10 last weekend. :bliss:
Prior to last weekend, I had never been able to swim an entire pool length of butterfly, but that is no longer the case. Now that I'm back home, I plan on swimming at least one length during my twice weekly workouts, and building from there. I have a long way to go, but at least I've finally begun the journey.
Great stuff! Track how much fly you swim each workout and try to improve it over time. As your conditioning for the stroke improves, you will be able to do more distance per fly swim (25's, 50's, etc) and more fly per workout.
