Hi everyone. I have been swimming for three months now after starting to swim for the first time in a while.
My best stroke so far (yet the most exausting) is the butterfly. I have lowered my 100 time (SCY) to a 1:07.08 just recently. I am really trying to drop it down lower than a 1:03.50 at my championship meet on tuesday.
My splits have been about 30 38 or 29 39 for the two 50's. Although it seems like a big drop in time i feel like if i can kick more on the second 50 (my legs often drag behind because i forget to kick when im tired) i should be able to pull it off.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I can improve my chances?

no200fly is spot on for the short term. I would also be concentrating on your arm turnover. A lot of people starting out in fly have a lag time between strokes. Instead, try to get into that catch as soon as humanly possible and start generating thrust from your arms as early as possible.
P.S. the 50 breathing, 50 little breathing is exactly how I plan out my swims and coach my swimmers to swim their 100 fly events.
