I'm new at the butterfly stroke and struggle to do 6x33yds with a freestyle return(100 ft pool) in one workout. I do these with a full recovery (3 min). After that I'll have to switch to some other stroke because I'm pretty much shot.
What are typical workouts and distances that strong flyers do that I should try to build to? I'm thinking that 10x50's would be a great goal?
Others may not like this, but as a person who learned fly after age 40, what I found helpful was using fins so I could feel it better. I would do some without, and then when I got more fatigued, I used fins. Or when learning the 400 IM, I used fins on the fly and did the rest without. At the time, it was the only way I could do it.
