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

  • I would love to join the butterfly lane. I've been doing some dolphin kicks, single arm butterflies, but I can't transition to a proper butterfly. It feels like I am doing a belly flop. Total Immersion has a good video out to learn proper butterfly: "Better Fly For Everybody". www.GoSwim.TV also has good instructional videos. If you feel like you are doing a belly flop, I'm guessing you aren't getting your face back down in the water quick enough after your breath and before your arms come around on recovery. Good luck!
