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?

Elaine, I struggle with all of my strokes, so take my comment with a grain of salt. But it looks like you are taking your second kick while your arms are still out front. Others may correct me, but I think you are supposed to time your second kick to coincide with the exit of your arms. One arm fly drills, and what I call “stone skipper “ ( underwater recovery) might help with timing the second kick.
Check out this video starting at the 35:15 mark where you can compare my timing to Terry Laughlin and another swimmer he is using in his "Total Immersion" video. My kick is obviously awful compared to their kicks; however, I am not sure the timing is the worst part of my stroke.
