The Butterfly Lane

ande
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

  • Thanks for your advice, Wookiee! This has been biggest problem with fly to try and overcome; my arms crashing down. Even when it feels like I am bringing them around for a soft landing, I watch the video and still see them crashing. I will work on your suggestions- thanks! Agree with Kirk about the timing of the kick! I also think that, if you could improve your kick, that would help your lower body ride higher in the water and help propel your arms forward. That takes some hip and leg strength though. Are you lifting? All your strokes could use some more power. GoSwim on "soft hands" butterfly: Butterfly - Soft Hands - YouTube Very smart to post all the vids to get input!
