The Butterfly Lane

Hey flyers, this frog is trying to jump out of the lily pond and morph into a buttefly- at least some of the time. I have the endurance fly thing down; it may not be pretty, but my last attempt at continuous fly was 2,000 yards. But, it was slowwww. I would like to improve my fly technique for race pace fly, for faster speed on my 50 and 100. My current 25 from a push off is :20 and my best 50 fly race was :39. One of my flaws, I know, is not getting my hands close enough together on the pull. When I do, it is more stressful and exhausting on my shoulders, due to my TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome) problem. (Don’t even get me started; it’s on another thread…) Another flaw is diving down with my arms, rather than landing them softly forward. I just don’t know how to correct it. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticism is appreciated! :D Here are some videos: Topside: http://youtu.be/b-mSQw8-OCo Underwater side view: http://youtu.be/TMFmU_RS9hE Underwater front view: http://youtu.be/vYanZqTrpho (Note: the noise you hear at the end is me laughing, because I completely drenched my husband who was bent down with the camera.:D :bolt:) If anybody out there would like to play armchair "coach", feel free to check out my other stroke videos and have at it: www.youtube.com/playlist All I ask is you provide constructive criticism and don't :lmao:!
