I do quite a lot of fly, although mostly with my front-mounted snorkel so I can go a lot longer and faster not having to worry about coming up to breathe. you should try fly with the snorkel too!<BR/><BR/> Court's first fly lesson went well today, btw. <BR/><BR/>And what's this about a 50 meter pool to swim in??!? I would be hitting that up every day, were one close enough. it's a much better workout and prep for open-water swimming.

The only reason I still swim 200 fly is because barely any of the masters swimmers do it at meets--and I always pick up good points in this event just by finishing! You should have seen me swim it at my last big meet in December 2006. (I really should drag my splits out to really embarass myself.) When I finished and went up to the stands, Andrew looked at me and said, "You know if you didn't spend so long resting on each turn, you might have gone a lot faster." I felt like tossing him in the pool!!! <BR/><BR/>Again, way to go and to challenge yourself!!! No need for fins in your lane...Pedergrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542802800246141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-75100910978633673442008-02-27T04:48:00.000-08:002008-02-27T04:48:00.000-08:00Fly Marit Fly!!!

Now just think how much easier those 6x25 fly will feel...and really how much easier ANYTHING will feel since you've done the 200 fly!! Great job!<BR/><BR/>And by the way - I've always been of the opinion that ignorance really is bliss... :) Have a great day!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247635973514495690noreply@blogger.com
