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

  • "Two separate full up/down kicks." Thank you! So now should I aim to kick with equal strength in the up-kick/lifting of the water as well as the down-kick/pushing away of the water.The down kick is the only part of the kick that creates any forward propulsion (Swimming Fastest, Ernest Maglischo). The up-kick is just so you can kick down again, and to lesser degrees, balance and position. No forward momentum obtained from kicking up unless you are doing backstroke
