The Butterfly Lane

ande
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

  • Good try Yosemite! Possibly helpful: I found today that changing styles throughout the swim really helped to refresh my muscles and break up the monotony. Saturday TIMED SWIM Elaine's 1000 fly challenge went 13:56 split 6:57 + 6:59 at the 325 mark I started experimenting. I switched to regular fly for 25 yards, and then went back to DPS fly until the I got the urge to switch again. That occurred at the 425 mark, the 525 mark, etc. So it turned into 75 DPS fly + 25 regular fly, repeating. That worked out well for pacing and working my muscles differently, and then when I hit the 950 mark, I just kept doing regular fly to the finish. I even managed to sprint the last 25. stroke counts: 7-8 in DPS mode, 10 elsewhere, except for 9 on the last 25. Masters Minute... or three 200 easy :applaud: :bow: Congratulations, That Guy! That was an awesome swim! I can't even swim 1000 yards freestyle that fast! Add two minutes to your time and I could... :blush: I need to recover from today's meet :cane: before I swim my 1,000. Stay tuned!
