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?

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 because you are pushing against more water the deeper you go (i.e., more of your arm is pushing water) not because of increased water pressure. Otherwise you'd go slower swimming underwater the deeper you are and that's not the case.
