Moving on

Not my first post about my struggle between mere survival and graceful, productive movement in the swimming pool.  I needed a place to compile my thoughts about that separate from other topics. Today's observation comes from watching Michael Phelps win a 100m butterfly medal in 2008(?)  Not that my form can ever be the same (it can't) , but I saw that his kicks weren't separated by the same time intervals. The observed sequence was kick-kick-glide-pull,  with recovery of the arms coinciding with the 1st kick.  Meaning nothing, really.
