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?

Yep, that's the plan. We'll see if I need to do a little breaststroke now and then to rest my neck. But hopefully not.
I read the article on Tom's approach. Very cool. I need to know if his breaching photo in the article is with or without fins (!). I once saw a swimmer in Florida (Coral Springs) launching himself up to his knees/maybe shins without fins and was pretty impressed.
And I have seen near full breaches by finswimmers and freedivers. It's like the holy grail for some of us to be able to do that without help from a wave (punching out the back of it).
With the focus on the soles of the feet part of the undulation I'm encouraged...ie. the dolphin debutante. :angel:
