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?

Update: After a trip out of town and no swimming, I went back to Kits pool (yes, it IS a great place to visit, do come!) and tried my luck swimming fly again.
Managed to do 8 x 137.50m of fly with 10-15 second intervals. Time was roughly 20-25 minutes. I wasn't keeping track of the speed so much as whether I could swum the set without stopping.
It really hit home that fly is really about the core undulation and keeping the hips high.
On that basis, I decided to enter a local 1 km lake swim this Thursday and also a 3km race on August 14th.
I'm pretty excited!!!!!
Waitjustaminutehere, are you implying that you're going to swim FLY in those OW races? :notworthy:
Regardless, I need to visit that pool. I only live around 3 hours away... I've visited Vancouver twice and have never swum there :sad:
