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.

All this stuff about distance fly??? I think Newdady would just like to swim 100 or 200....
I understand.
I just thought I'd offer those up because I used to think a 200 was impossible. Then I read the stuff about Vicki and Tom and was able to adopt a slightly different perspective, which helped me a lot towards achieving my goal. It is indeed mostly in the mind. Conditioning is necessary, but you can't escape the importance of getting your head in the right place.
