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

  • Thanks for answering Swimspire. A couple weeks ago my coach told me that I was breathing too late. He suggested that I try to breath with my hands more forward than under my hips. I had been focusing on breathing under the hips but was playing with it the other day and found I had more momentum towards the front. I have since moved and am coach less and swimming on my own! I will see if in a few weeks I can get a video posted. In the meantime, I am slowly reading through this thread to see if I can figure it out. I've watched videos but it is difficult to tell as it all happens so quickly.
