The Butterfly Lane

ande
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

  • I am training to escape from Alcatraz swimming Butterfly as a Fund Raiser for Special Olympics. www.swimflyfast.com/special-olympics During the past year I have 'found' the pace I can sustain until I get hungry or need to go home. swimming a mile and a half straight now is beginning to be easy. Since Alcatraz is a mile an a half I feel it is necessary to go that distance in practice and maybe a little more. Rather then think about counting laps I pace myself to go the same speed (around 50 seconds per fifty and check that out every third 50 ) That way I can just look at the starting and ending time on the clock instead of dealing with the mental anguish of trying to count to 99... Lately I have been working the middle of the swim faster and I am trying to build speed from the middle instead of the start and holding on. This helps me relax during the first 500 yards and not feel the pressure at the end. Does anyone know of anyone who swam from Alcatraz without a wet suit? I see some that have with a wet suit.
