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

  • Do you need to train fly to swim it fast? I mainly train freestyle and do some fly sprinting, 25's & 50's but rarely further. I train for mainly middle distance freestyle type events (200/500/1000), and do the occasional IM workout as well. I really don't do that much full stroke fly, or if I do, I tend to add it to the front half/back half of a 150 distance (100 Free/50 Fly). I like this, because it makes me work my fly when I'm tired vs. always doing it rested. I know this is different than many folks choose to do it, but it works for my 200 Fly training, learning how to keep going when I'm tired.
