It doesn't matter how much freestyle I do, my butterfly is comparatively lame unless I do substantial fly in practice.
I've seen lots of people who can race fly really well without doing much of it in practice.
How about you?

How much fly I do in training depends on the distance that I will be racing in the near future. If I am preparing for a 50m race then I don't do heaps of fly. I would just incorporate a few 25m sprints after the warm up of most sessions.
On the other hand if I am preparing for a 200m fly then I do quite a bit of work in butterfly. I still do the majority of sets in freestyle but probably 2 of my main sets per week will be done as butterfly. If they are a set of 100's I would normally do 75 fly 25 free. If it is a set of 200's I would do 100-125m Fly and the rest free. The majority of my sprint and lactate tolerance work would be done as Fly.
