Race stratergy for the 100 yard butterfly... If i go 24.49 for a 50 what should my first 50 and last 50 be ? My coach says my first 50 should be swam at 'easy speed..How do you swim fly at 'easy speed'?
In addition to that . I heard that there is a glide phase in the 100 fly but i dont understand how to do it or what it is.

Err... now I'm confused, too! I've only been swimming three years, but I'm aghast at the thought of doing butterfly like the visual you just put in my head. I'm not sure that's right at all. :afraid:
Can someone with more experience help us, please?! :D
edit: okay, I'm visualizing it some more, and I think the insight about palms not being flat on entering the water is exactly right. I think. There has to be a tilt, with thumbs entering first. And then the palms flatten out after they've entered the water?
