How to build up endurance to swim the 200 fly? I haven't competed in this event in almost 30 years, but I can still do a respectable 50 fly. Is it lost forever, or can I get it back? Or maybe at least the 100 fly? Any training tips or advice? :afraid:
Do repeat 25 flys. Take plenty of rest and work on lowering your stroke count. If your stroke technique starts breaking down, stop swimming fly. Once those 25's become easy (which could take weeks), add some 50's, again taking plenty of rest. Once those 50's become easy, try some 75's. QUOTE]
These are great ideas! Now, how to get the courage to swim fly w/out my zoomers? If I leave them at home, I'll just not do fly, most likely!
Also can you modify this for a 50m pool, which I train in most mornings? Should I just switch to free at the 1/2 way point, or switch to drill or what? I can go about 37.5 without breaking my stroke right now, when it's LCM. I miss my walls!
