The Butterfly Lane

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 breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

  • Wow. 5 strokes up and 8 back. I think I could do this, but I wonder what it would do to my time. I'll try it tonight. By the way, I see most guys in USMS championship heats my age doing way less than 12 sdk's, and taking it out in 8-9 and back in 9-10 strokes. Here's an example: www.floswimming.org/.../14162 Check out what Bowman says about stroke count and time in practice:video.google.com/videoplay at about 29:30 I don't have any videos of my 50 fly races but it's possible that I do take more strokes when I race the 50. Those stroke counts stick out in my mind because that's how I'm likely to start a 100 or 200, which I race far more often. Also, the guys in that floswimming video are all faster than me at the 50 fly so you should pay more attention to them! :cane: I can hit Bowman's target of 10 difference between stroke count and time in practice though.
