Does anyone out there know any good resources for learning (and perfecting) the butterfly stroke? I like the Total Immersion system, but it's focus is mainly on the crawl. How do those principles translate to butterfly and breastroke? Thanks for any help!!

I was trying to find the post on distance butterfly. Anyway with the 200 fly the best thing to do is to practice it in workouts. Back in the 1970's, I lowered the time from abut 2:55 to 2:47.4 in meters, when I had a coach that had you do at least three 200's butterfly in a workout. Most of us can't do this now but doing a 200 fly once in a while without stopping I think helps you swim at. These days, I would be very lucky to break 4 mintues.
