I am a good freestyler. But I am an adult learned swimmer and I learned to freestyle so I could race in triathlon. Read: I have no clue how to do any other strokes with any efficiency. In fact I had never even tried to do butterfly prior to joining our masters group here about 6 weeks ago.

So this morning I almost didn't go because I was really tired and I thought the extra sleep would be really nice. But I got my rear out of bed and to the pool and I'm so happy that I did. I did my first ever 25m butterfly without fins.....twice.

I'm a happy camper today. Thanks for listening.
