Butterfly Tempo/Pull Challenge
Perform this two-part challenge whenever you swim a butterfly set in practice. In part one of the challenge, you must maintain the same tempo (stroke frequency) and length of the pull for the first 75% of each repeat. Bear in mind; there are three lengths of butterfly pull (finishing at your belly button, hips, or thighs and thighs is the best). In part two of the challenge, you must increase your tempo (dramatically) on the last 25% of each repeat (even if the pull gets shorter).
