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

Update--with goal of doing well in 100 SCY and for next summer finish 100 LCM fly. For fly work I have been working on my own I find that doing more than 500 fly is just too tough and stroke breaks down. So, I have been mostly doing 400-500 fly/workout and building endurance (will focus on speed later). Half are broken or straight 100's and the other half is a set of 50s, say 4x50s with the 2nd ~5 secs of rest, 3rd and 4th having nearly a min of rest (actively working on getting that rest period shorter). I do try to incorporate some fly component in our Masters Group practices (2-3x/wk, we rarely do stroke work) to add extra fly in my workout, but it isn't easy. Still, I find fly is the most fun stroke, and haven't felt any sense of being burnt out training.
