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.
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.
Yes! Inquiring minds want to know how to swim fly below anaerobic threshold! I'll even offer up some money! Well, not real money. This money: :2cents:
(I think the answer is "increase fly volume until it becomes easier." I'm noticing that slowly, it is becoming easier. But don't take my word for it, not when there's fake cash on the table!)
