The Butterfly Lane

hey white lighting, If you're pushing 14's in practice you should be able to go out faster from a dive, FOCUS on the process of swimming a fast 50 fly and don't worry about the outcomes (times or splits) Let your times will fall where they will have a coach or friend get your 25 split, have another friend video your race with her Iphone or video recorder my suggestions to you for your 50 fly are: 1) wear a fast suit 2010 Fina Approved Tech Suit & Aqua V cap 2) SHAVE 3) right before your race, talk with your coach and get psyched to swim fast 4) have a fast start, great dive, skinny streamline, fast SDK (know & do your kick counts) & break out well 4) Swim Fast: move your arms as fast as you can through full stroke cycles 5) hit your turn 5) bring it home 6) Hit your touch 7) keep your head down, breathe as few times as possible Below are 1, 2 or 3 breath options a. breathe only at the turn, b. breathe at the turn & half way back on the 2nd 25 c. breathe at the flags on the first length, the turn, & half way back on the 2nd Let us know how you swim, good Luck, Ande I am going to swim my first 50 fly in 26 years on December 4th in Knoxville.:afraid: I've been splitting 14 high from a push in practice, but I am wondering what I should expect for the 1st and 2nd 25 splits. How would you handle this race Ande?
