The Butterfly Lane

A fat open lane awaited me as walked up to the pool so I went for it yesterday. I swam my non-stop 1,000 butterfly. Nothing special and certainly not fast. But I did manage to use a double kick the whole distance. That was a new one for me. It was fun SwimFlyFast. Elaine, thanks for your continuing inspiration in overcoming challenges.

I try to make both the same,but in the real world the 2nd is always smaller.

New to this thread. Not going to skim through 600+ entries 33 pages long. Here goes. Last evening I was swimming next to some age groupers. They were wearing fins, doing three dolphin kicks, followed by one butterfly arm stroke. I tried this today for 200 meters. I am self taught on butterfly, so how do I progress from this drill. I can see how this will help me with my butterfly and have decided to incorporate it into my workout when it fits in.

Thank you for the link. Nice. Now I will have to complete my first open water swim (08/24/13) doing butterfly. I hope I get the applause. LOL.
