The Butterfly Lane

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

  • That sounds like this: www.h2oustonswims.org/.../vive_le_papillon.html I found this last night and tried the SAP drill and Half-fly today... nice! My legs and shoulders needed the break from a hard workout yesterday, but I expected this to be painfully slow. It really wasn't, and put me in touch with the way my hips should be driving the legs. I think especially in the underwaters I really thrash the legs b/c I'm trying to get distance and momentum, but in SAP and half-fly drills, without purposely kicking the legs, I was surprised to see how much momentum I was generating... a real revelation.
