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

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.
Thanks, That Guy! I swam a 25 both mornings this week. It's the last thing I do before warming down, but I was wondering whether it would be better to do my butterfly practice after my initial warm-up, when I'm fresher? Also, by how much per week should I realistically increase my distance during my workouts?
I'm in pretty good swimming shape, so I'm thinking at the very least I need to add more SDKs to my kicking workouts (my group swims freestyle exclusively) and butterfly drills to help with conditioning my "fly" muscles.
I appreciate the encouragement and any tips you can share.
