🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 BUTTERFLY . BUTTERTRY . BUTTERCRY . BUTTERDIE . . By far the hardest stroke in #swimming for me to make progress on is the #butterfly I still can’t swim more than 25m of fly w/o fins. I’ve heard several swim teachers over the almost 2 years I’ve been taking swim lessons say that the breaststroke is the hardest to learn but the butterfly is the hardest to train. My feet/legs are not proper in terms of form and technique, but I can swim several hundred meters of breaststroke now. . . I have so much respect and admiration for flyers. My favorite flyer for the past 3 years is my fellow #GoldenBear @beefytshields He’s the first of the #Calympian swimmers I met and his 200m fly was the first prelim swim I watched at the Fran Crippen Swim Meet of Champions. Win or lose, I always root for #TomShields The 200m fly final last night did not go well & Tom apologized for his performance on Twitter, but what a difference a day makes. Congratulations on winning the 100m fly A final tonight! 👏👏👏 I literally jumped out of bed and screamed as I watched you charge to the wall the last 5 meters. Well done! Talk about #redemption So proud of you. #wbw #waybackwednesday #LetsAllPlay #athlete #sports #swimming #olympian #olympicgoldmedalist https://www.instagram.com/p/B04w_lMnDGW/?igshid=yreblix0brru
