Yesterday I totalled 500m of Butterfly (most just 25m with shoulder tweaking afterwards).
Today, I have no idea. I was in a meditative zone with very little care for distances. Had to be over 300m worth.
It is most definitely helping the muscle movement and building in my upper back. Painful things do happen, afterwards, but so do some very good adjustments.

The coolest thing to happen with the butterfly happened a handful of times with my kick. I'm guessing I finally did a few correctly.
As the hands enter the water in front of me, a wave of energy, begun by the arm stroke, goes down both sides of my back, into the legs and spike into a kick. SMOOTH. The two waves which travel down my back feel somewhat like a leaf closing in two curling waves.
Not just smooth, it's sleek, as in my swim suit drops an inch further down my hips then ever.
I was exhausted by the swim's end, but I can't wait to get back in the water.
If only this were the start of summer and not the end. I am, no doubt, likely going to over do it a bit trying to accomplish all I can before the weather turns.
