I'm not too worried about the turning aspects...just a little unsure of what to do at the backstroke to *** turn. Also any good workouts for this? I'm doing 900 free for warm up (0-1650 in 6 weeks) then trey to do another 1500 per workout. I've obviously been hitting *** but want to get some fly and back work in as well as turns--obviously I can always go to the wall and touch then turn but that's inefficient. Is doing a 100 IM then hitting sets of 50 of fly and back or what? I've ordered a couple of books for reference and they should get here shortly. Any thoughts or articles?

  • Although I think Rich was joking with his response, 100 IM's sometimes wipe me out more than 200's too because (my whacked out theory here) there is less 'space' between the fly. You know, you only get 3 laps of other stuff to recover in between the fly on 100. On the 200, although you have a 50 fly all at once, you get 6 laps of other stuff to recover. :-) (Spoken like a true-non-flyer and someone whose backstroke doesn't go fast enough to be anything but a recovery stroke...) Rich is giving me a bad time because on another thread I mentioned using the back to recover from the fly.
