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

Right you are! I train alone so I get to set whatever intervals I want. :banana: I also never use pull buoys, fins, or paddles, and rarely use a kickboard. "Pulling sets do more harm than good" is another concept that we can add to the list... I decided to solve this problem by downgrading lane. Tonight will be the first time I try it. If the workout is aimed at working on our specialty (fly in my case), I'll book it with swimmers that are much slower than me, to allow for sufficient recovery time.
Otherwise, it pisses me off waaaay to much. Coaches that do not understand that ultra fast swimming is not compatible with tight intervals.
