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

  • Couple questions for the butterfly lane...where should my hands be when I breath? Also, on occasion I feel as though I am lifting too much water on my back/upper shoulders? Am I coming up too early to breath and/or possibly going too deep? Thanks! Butterfly is all about the timing! In regards to your first question, you should be breathing more towards the end of the pull. It is difficult to answer your following questions without actually seeing you swim. It could be the case that you are diving too deep, as this is a common issue, but again, I would need to see your stroke to make an absolute determination.
