Hi, I need help dropping time in my 100 fly. I currently have a best time of a 1:04. I weigh 115 pounds, 5'1, am 14 years old, and practice 4 times a week (each day is a focused on one stroke). My goal is to swim a 1:00 or under, but just don't know how to get their. Do you guys know any Drills, workouts (dryland and in the water), and practice tipes that would help me improve my fly? Thank you!
OK you swim 4x per week. do you do any strength training at the gym or home?
To compare, my daughter who is a butterflier did a 57.39 at 13 this past February. She was a little taller, (5'3") but weighed the same. She was doing 7-8 practices a week then. Now she is at 9 a week (17-1/4 hours), and lifting twice per week.
The other thing I should mention is that my daughter is now slower because she has lost focus when it comes to taking care of her body. Diet and rest are also very critical factors to consider.
