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?

The Knoxville pool is perhaps the best facility I have ever seen. The meet director and Knoxville masters were VERY friendly and welcoming. I will keep an eye out for more meets at this venue.
Thanks for the positive review! The meet was at the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center, a very new (opened in 2008) state-of-the-art indoor 50 meter competition pool with adjacent diving well. The layout is similar to the pool at Auburn, or if you were at nats last spring, Georgia Tech. The photo shows how the pool was set up during the meet. We swam at the far end, close to the diving well, and had the ENTIRE 10 lane, 25 yard section in the foreground available for warmup/cooldown.
The meet director, Jessica Hart, who is also our coach and head of the masters program, did indeed do a spectacular, thorough, and professional job. In the short time she's been here (since last July), she's apparently become quite plugged in with the UT swimming program and had all the logistics with the facility and the officials and the timers and who know what else -- all worked out. Very well done! Jessica is thinking about organizing a masters meet in the spring, but the details are not yet known.
Hilariously, White Lightning and I did indeed draw adjacent lanes in the 50 fly! But if he died on the way back, I died worse! :whiteflag: I'm blaming it on the 200 back ... :blah:
It was a fun meet! Thanks for coming! :chug:
