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

Speaking of fly turns, check out Nick D'arcy in lane 3 in this video:
YouTube- 200 Butterfly - 2010 Mutual of Omaha Pan Pacific Championships
On his first and third turns, he does not appear to breathe, and on top of that, he takes more SDK's than most of the other guys in that final. (His second turn isn't shown in the video but he probably didn't breathe then either.) Impressive!
Seems very weird to breathe every stroke, then not breathe on the wall. I can't really see how it is any faster, but impressive lung capacity either way. I'm sure he wouldn't do it if it wasn't timed as being faster for him.
