Just heard that at long course nationals in Oregon this summer Dennis Baker plans to swim the 1500 butterfly instead of freestyle!!! The tank is supposed to be one of the fastest in the country with the new remodel.

I have much more modest goals. I'm comfortable with the 50 fly, so my next goal would be entering the 100 fly in a meet, and maybe someday the 200 fly, but probably not.
Is there some stroke technique for 'distance fly'? I consume a lot of energy trying to maintain a certain critical speed or faster. If I drop below that critical speed, it's like I'm fighting a wall of water and it actually takes more energy to go slower.
