I am finally starting to get the hang of fly, but still can't swim a distance at one go - by distance, I mean fly-wise. i.e., more than 50 meters.
What is the key to flying distance? I wonder why I lose my wind only after 50 meters of flying when I can swim 1000 meters of freestyle without much fatigue.

Question #2: What do you find to be the greatest stroke flaw for butterfly swimmers that you coach, and what do you do to help correct it?
This back page article in the 1st issue of USMS Swimmer is a very interesting history lesson:
