Fly endurance

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:

  • 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! I think switching to free, one-arm fly, or DPS fly (wherein you take more than 2 kicks per stroke) would be a good adaptation for LCM. As for weaning oneself from fins, well I don't know about that since I never use them. Anyone else have experience there?
