I used to be able to do all fly events, even if not so well, but now, after 5 years out, I am only able to do a 25 well and a 50 not so well. How do I get back whatever it is I lost in those 5 years. How do I work up from a 25 to a 50 to a 75 and 100?
Just to clarify,
I don't mean to do 4x25's and work your way down to zero rest in one set. I mean do them with 20 sec rest one week and over the course of months work that rest interval down to 5 sec.
As Elise says, maintain perfect form, but don't be afraid to swim fly tired. If it completely breaks down just switch to free to finish up.
Gigi is right, if you can swim 75's in practice, you can swim a 100 at a meet. I'm not sure if you can swim a 175 it ensures you can swim a 200 though!!
