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

Swam the 1km today at Sasamat Lake (vowsa.bc.ca) fly. Finished it! Managed a time of 20.59. Pretty pleased with the time as finishing was my main interest.
Felt good in the last 400m, but was pretty tired when I stopped. Swam without a wetsuit and I believe the water was about 17C. Felt like I was suffering from windchill (waterchill?) from moving through the water as my left leg started to shiver in the last third of the swim.
Still trying to figure out exactly how the upbeat kick works in my stroke. Not sure I am really aware of it yet. And whether I like a double kick style or single kick style for open water. I think if my body can handle the double kick style, it feels better and I could benefit from the momentum and higher hips.
