Would it be very detrimental to my swimming if I trained and did one of these? Read the book "Born to Run" and really want to do at least one ultramarathon. However, I still want to improve on swimming especially getting better in 100 fly and eventually working up to 200 fly. Thoughts?

I don't see how an ultramarathon or training for it is going to improve your fly. Might help you manage pain better. So long as you don't do any permenant damage to your body in the process, you should be able to work back to your current level once you stop ultramarathoning.
What are the risks? Is there potential for long term damage to your body?
Are the risks worth it? Do you need to cross "ultramarathon" off the list of things you want to do before you die? Are you passionate about long distance running?
I have a bad habit of playing soccer and occasionally, I get tripped while running full speed. One day I may seriously injure myself and be limited with some/all of the strokes I swim. But I love the game as much as I love swimming. The risk is worth it to me.
