Okay, just one more...

...USAS video.

From last year, Caeleb Dressell vs. Michael Andrew:


Notes:

You'll recall that Gregg Troy has retired from the college program, but is still coaching a few elite club athletes in Florida.

Maxime Rooney left Florida and is now with Eddie Reese at Texas.

Anthony Nesty (Suriname) won gold in the 1988 Seoul Games in the 100 butterfly.  He beat Team USA's Matt Biondi by a hundredth of a second.

Bobby demonstrated a few stroke drills for videos back in '11.  I posted on YouTube, but only told a handful of people.

The Fifth Stroke

Use a great dolphin kick to become a better butterflyer, backstroker, and freestyler.  It'll also help you improve on breaststroke pullouts.  The Race Club has posted several great videos on the "Fifth Stroke":

Thirteen down,...

...and eight to go.

We're making great progress!  Coach Hagg and I have a goal of teaching twenty-one (21) skills in the month of September.  With a week and a half to go in the month, we're down to just eight (8) more.

Today's butterfly work went very well.  Keep up the great work!

We'll focus on our fly turns tomorrow:

Dana Vollmer - Butterfly

Dana Vollmer swam for Granbury HS and Fort Worth Aquatics Swim Team (FAST) before leaving Texas to swim for both Florida and California in college.  She has set multiple world records and won several Olympic gold medals.

Butterfly Video

Earlier this month, Giles Smith took down two big-time swimmers (Ryan Lochte & Michael Phelps) in the 100 meter butterfly.


Note:  The next Arena Pro Series event will be at the UT pool in Austin (January 15 - 17).
