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

    flyers...one thing that I notice in Elaine's fly - that I struggle a HUGE amount with myself - is a pause in the front of the stroke. It's like the hands hit (mine crash in too by the way) and then there is a pause before the catch and pull. I have tried for a long time to eliminate this pause because it puts a hitch in my stroke and ruins my timing. It makes the second kick (kick hands out) out of time with my kick and I get no power. Any suggestions for eliminating this pause of the hands in the front of my fly??? Thanks for any comments... my fly looks a lot like Eliane's but with maybe a bit more pause at the front making it look like a two stage event! Thanks, JB :)
