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

    Hi Knelson, I agree that a straighter arm causes more shoulder stress. But try staniding up in the water sometime and moving your hand back and forth underwater at different depths. You will feel more resistance the deeper you go. This is why the popular S arm stroke taught to me 40 years ago isn't necessarily the best.
