  • So either 9 out of 10 swam the race badly or the goal of fly=free is not realistic. I'm not saying fly = free is optimal... just for someone starting out with a 200 IM, that is a good way to be able to complete the race and test the other strokes without being completely fatigued. As a 200 flyer in college, I like to take IMs easy going out, not build up too much lactate, and accelerate toward the finish.... just a personal preference.
