The following is a butterfly workout intended to improve all aspects of the stroke. As always, intervals depend on the level of swimmer being trained. In this instance, the intervals on the fly swims were intended to give the swimmers plenty of rest to facilitate proper technique and eliminate “butter-struggle.”
