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. I'm new to this thread..and new to Master's Swimmer. I was a swimmer as a child up throughout high school. I swam IMs and Fly and Free. Now 25 years later, I'm starting almost from scratch. The only evidence I have that I WAS a swimmer is a "good looking" Fly. Problem is..after 3 months of swimming, I'm only swimming a 25 Fly a few times a week. (It hasn't been a huge focus until NOW). Now I want to be able to swim easily 50 Meters..and eventually more. Where do I start??? I'm honestly not sure why I can't finish a 50 meter lap. I just fall apart..I don't know if it's overall conditioning, fatigue in my upper body or what. Can anyone (or everyone!!) give me an idea on how to progressively work on my distance (without feeling defeated) so I can get up to a 200 Fly by December?? (Yes, a check off challenge member!) I'll do drills, use fins , pull buoys, anything!!! Please any or all advise is requested!!!! Oh..maybe intense cardio outside the pool??? Just feeling like I don't know where to start.
