How to act less shy and more like a social butterfly?
Ok, I would say I am a normal person. I used to be very shy and would barely talk, but now I do talk a good amount, but at social stuff like after school, in the courtyard I am withdrawn sometimes especially after school. It seems like everyone has tons of friends, they don't need me to talk to them. Can you give me some tips so that I have more of a range of people to talk to than people who sit around me in class. Tips please!|||Trust me, i know the feeling. :)
To be perfectly honest, being a "social butterfly" might not be a great choice for you. All you need is one really good friend. That's what I have, and it makes things way less complicated. When you have a lot of friends, you get betrayed, talked about, etc. and it's not a very healthy lifestyle. You always walk away wondering if people talked bad about you behind your back and chances are, they did, even if they were nice to your face.
Try not to go looking for a bunch of people to "hang out" with. When you meet someone really nice talk to them, maybe do them a favor. You will find a best friend soon hopefully. :)

What is the symbolic meaning of a blue butterfly?
What is the symbolic meaning of a blue butterfly?
I also have another question what would be the symbolic meaning of a blue butterfly engulfed in blue %26amp; white flames?
I love blue butterflies so thought I would ask to see if they had any symbolic meaning in folk lore %26amp; mythology.|||I think it means you like butterflys and the color blue.
Butterfly?

Okay, so when I swim fly, I look epileptic.
What's up with that?
I can swim ANY stroke indefinately, and fly only like, 50 meters and then I die.
Also when I reach the 25 meter line, my arms just don't come over the water again, and it looks all sloppy.
Also, my fly kick is very weak since I have no idea how to do it, should your fingers be pointed? Do you move your hips, thighs, or the part of your legs under the knees?|||Well acually you anly move your knees, amd by the way can i mail you sometime?|||You move your whole legs in like a wave motion starting with hips then thighs then knees and then feet. You have to start the kick at the same time your arms are pushing you out of the water, to give you more leverage. Its hard to explain on a computer. Do you have a coach you can ask for extra help with this? Its all about endurance and some people it just comes naturally to.
I had the same problem in High School when I was on swimming. I would be set to swim the 200IM or the 50 fly and after the 25 meters of fly I would be dying. All I can say is practice practice practice.|||The secret to swimming butterfly well is to sweep your hands close together when they come under your body. Many people's hands are to far apart because it seems eaiser. However, it's actually harder because you don't get as much power when your hands are far apart and you have to take more strokes to get where you're going.
Your entire stroke should come from the core of your body (i.e. abs, hips) because this is where your body is strongest there. Part of the reason you can't maintain your stroke over 25 meters may be that your using your legs below your knees to kick instead of your hips. Your lower legs get tired faster and arn't able to lift your torso out of the water as far.
If you want to have a better butterfly you should probably do more core work like sit-ups, planks, 6-inches, etc. You can also try doing pilates as they are very agressive in working the core.
I can also recommend Butterfly with Misty Hymen, a dvd that will show you how to do the stroke right and make it eaiser.
Good Luck,
Raquel|||breath to the front when your arms go in the water, move your hips and kick twice per stroke|||Timing of stroke, kick, and breathing are critical.
First, the stroke should look like a classic keyhole. When your hands enter the water, press your chest into the water ... spread (scull) your hands outward. As your body moves forward, sweep your hands inward with your finger tips always facing the bottom of the pool. As your hands come closer, the should come close enough so that they pass under your hip bones. Finally, sweep your hands past your legs so that your thumbs can brush your legs below your suit.
As your hands enter the water, you should kick (kick #1). As your hands pass under your hips, you should kick a second time.
As you do that second look forward for your breath. As your hands go across the water for your next stroke (your stroke recovery), your face should go into the water before your hands enter.
Butterfly is actually does not use the most calories of the strokes. That honor goes to backstroke. However, due to the start - stop action of butterfly, you build lactic acid more than any stroke and it is lactic acid that interferes with your muscles working or, what we call, fatigue.
If your kick is strong, you'll experience less fatigue.
But, most importantly ... LISTEN TO YOUR COACH!
Good luck.|||well i am a swimmer for 3 years and drill and kick have helped me with my fly.|||for me, i move my legs in a wavelike motion. i have to get my hips/ butt above the water then my legs do the "ave" SO my feet can then be above the water. hope this works for you, cuz it works for me, and my time for a 50 fly is like 34.6

Butterfly?
Why do we call these floppy-winged insects Butterflies?|||Because they fly and maybe their bodies are soft like butter? Or we don't want bread flying? But... The Old English word for butterfly was buttorfleoge apparently because butterflies were thought to steal milk or folk etymology that it originated as a contraction of butter-coloured fly.|||a caveman found a stick of butter with a fly inside of it. he sat on the butter(like an incubator) and after a few months a beautiful little green creature was formed. This wasn't the butterfly though. Today, you might know these as lizards. Eventually, some lizards evolved into butterflies. I read this story on www.butterlizards.com. you should check it out.|||we just do. same reason why we call dogs 'dogs'
Butterfly?
I'm 13 years old and do a 35.28 for Butterfly 50m and 1:12.97 for Butterfly 100m. I want to get my times down to 1:09.00 seconds for 100m and down to 32.00 seconds for 50m by December. I took about 8 seconds off my 100m time in 7 months and about 2 seconds off my 50m time in 2 months, but this was because I had moved up a squad.
Do you think my goals are realistic? What techniques can improve my times?|||I was a Private swim instructor for 8 years...my best and favorite stroke is fly....very realistic goals...but lets talk about a couple things....kick...ensure you have two kicks per stroke...hands in..kick..hands at waist...kick...breathe every other stroke at the minimum...make your strokes long and smooth on the first 50....the last 50 emphasis on the kick...strong and hard...on your turns...make sure you are not grabbing the wall...touch the target then quick turn...karate chop motion with your left phone answering motion with the right...stay streamline slightly diagonal to cut down on resistance...quick kicks on your turn dont breathe on your first stroke up from your turn and make sure youre past the flags...off the blocks try to swim the maximum length diagonal hard kicks (when i swam it was 15m)....when you finish (like the turn) make sure you hit the target and not the top of the wall....
do 5x100s kick last 50, 30 sec between
6x50s 25 kick 25 pull, 30 sec between
2x100s full stroke
do 2 sets of this....
Good luck fellow fly swimmer....|||these are preety realistic goals, because if you are good at butterfly it is easy to improve times and you have given yourself a resonable time to improve in!!!|||Yeah your goals are realistic, just really hard. When you jump off of the block and enter the water, do four dolphin kicks before breaking the surface. Then kick, take a stroke, and kick again. There should be two kicks for every stroke. One before and one after. When breathing keep your head low above the water. Wear a cap and shave your legs (hopefully you do already, i don't though). Keep your arms straight.
Hope this helps|||It sounds like you improve really fast. I think that if you are really shooting for it it is definitely possible. Keep trying hard. BTW those times are really impressive.|||Of course there realistic. All you have to do is practice. Thats all that can really help you. I was never a fan of butterfly but sometimes we didn't have a choice of what event we were swimming espically if it was the I.M. I practiced my arm technique on the floor. It sounds crazy but it works. Good Luck on your Goal and Don't EVER give up.|||thats heaps good!! im jelous of your 100 time! i can do a 31 in the 50 but can barely break a 1.20 for the 100.
with help in your sprint (it worked for me) just keep your stroke rate going and going and your kick will follow on, also practise surf swimming with fly arms and your head out of the water. it helps so much!
we have to exchange tips i needa know how you get your 100 so fast!!!
xxm maddzi|||that is really fast!!! i think your goals are realistic as long as you believe that you can do it. just keep practicing. don't skip practice, otherwise you miss an opportunity to improve :]
don't give up
