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.

  • Not bad. I had done a 400 a couple weeks ago so I had a feel for what I was getting into. Honestly the stroke is very different than a racing stroke (at least it was for me). I took your advise on the glide and swam at a pace that wouldn't create the hypoxia we often feel when racing a 200 fly. Great respect to those of you going the super distances fly.:bliss: It is very different, and it's how I feel most comfortable swimming fly. I would much rather swim distance fly than swim an all-out 50 fly with a quick turnover. That's why my 200 fly is so :cane:.
