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?

We did some fly work in practice this morning (I usually pick backstroke whenever we do stroke, so this time my coach forced it on me!). We started with kicking and added stuff in from there. I think I finally figured out how to get two kicks into my stroke cycle (yeah, I know...I should have figured this out long ago! :blush:). Anyway, when it came time to add fly into the main set, my arms were so tired that I could barely do 25 before having to drill or drown. Ugh. I had been feeling so good in the drills. I guess it's just conditioning? I only swim 3 days a week because that is when the pool is available to me, so I'm not sure how much conditioning I'll be able to build up in that time. Thoughts?
