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?

I watched some Misty Hyman, Ian Crocker and Michael Phelps vidoes today. I have been thinking about working up to a double kick on my 1,000 fly. I had thought the first kick should be my strongest with a small quick second kick. But I see Misty's second kick starting and ending deeper than her first one, Ian's second seems to be stronger and ending deeper too, and Michael's kicks seem to be equal. But then, he can really straighten his feet so much that he can make a deeper kick effective. Anybody thought about this and what works best for them? That Guy? For distance fly, I try to make all my kicks equal for consistency over the long haul. For 50, 100, and 200 distances, I don't focus on that so I wouldn't be surprised if video review revealed something like my second kick being smaller than the first. By the way, That Guy I will be in Yosemite in mid-May trying to swim up some cracks. Thank you for the warning! :bolt:
