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?

Your comments, please! I've found this technique to be very useful in the 200 fly & 400 IM, where by very useful I mean, I could not swim these events at all using the more common, traditional, high-stroke-count fly. What are the key tricks to making DPS fly faster? How can I beat Peter in February?
Mine:
+ Of course I don't think DPS fly would be all that useful in the 50 & 100 fly & 100 IM. In the 200 IM, maybe a little. I'm most interested in the 400 IM & 200 fly.
+ Using this technique, perhaps the 400 IM & 200 fly would be more accessible to more masters swimmers. What do you think? Minimize the stroke count!
+ How the heck do people sustain 9 or 10 strokes per length in an SCY 200 fly? I would die like a dog after 75 yards. There is still some mechanical mystery here that I'm not grasping. How do people do 1650?
Good job! I haven't messed with DPS fly but I think I might try it out. It might hold the key to aerobic fly, which I've never been able to do. I would treat it like a different stroke, just like I think of straight-arm freestyle and bent-arm freestyle as being different strokes.
