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?

Last evening I was browsing YouTube swimming videos and I noticed something quite remarkable: Mary T. Meagher's winning time in the 200 fly at the 1984 Olympics of 2:06.90 was exactly the same as Jessica Schipper's winning time at the recent Pan-Pacs! We are talking about two very talented swimmers here, separated by 26 years, and that gives a lot to think about.
Here is the link to the video if you want to watch it:
YouTube- 1984 Olympic Women's 200m Butterfly final - Mary T. Meagher
For all of the female butterflyers in their late 40's, you had better hope Mary T. doesn't decide to take up Masters swimming, but wouldn't it be fun to watch!
Mary T is the greatest flyer ever. It's not hard to see why.
