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?

Hi guys! Mind if I drop in from The Breaststroke Lane for a visit? After breaststroke, the IM was my other event to round out my high school meet line-up. Then, if the coach needed me, I was thrown into the 100 fly. :afraid:
Since joining USMS, in February, I have only competed in breaststroke, including at Nationals. Now, I'm focusing on the other strokes, as well, to prepare for a pentathlon, where I will be competing in each stroke, as well as the IM. So, I'm bringing more fly into my workouts.
Question: For somebody who has had past neck and shoulder injuries (and major shoulder surgery) unrelated to swimming, what would be a less stressful breathing technique for fly; traditional breathing or turning my head to the side to breathe? I'm more concerned with avoiding injury than being faster. I plan on being in this for the long haul... :D
Cheers!
