butterfly and the lower back.

Has anyone figured out how to do fly with a problematic lower back? Are there things I can do to prevent over flexing my back when I do SDK and fly?

    With all the fly stuff I have been into lately I am starting to incorporate fly into my workouts. These workouts are all crawl now. I only swim 100 repeats crawl at the momment. Starting today 4 X 100 warm up 5 X 100 rest 15 seconds between 100s after completing each set of 5 rest 30 sec, then 18 sets of 5 X 100s, then 300 cool down swim. During 10 of the sets of 5 I will swim 25m fly first and 75 crawl. Now this fly will not be a violent fly. George, do you really do 18 sets of 5 x 100s?! Or am I reading it wrong? That alone is 9000m, not including the warm up and cool down. That is a huge amount of distance. I am in awe! How many times a week do you do that? Syd
