Help dropping time in the fly

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?

  • Once again everyone thanks for all the advice but i'm sorry to report that i didnt make the time i was looking for. I took out the first 50 in 29 but ended up with a 1:09 so I basically really died on the last 25. You did pretty well for just swimming for 90 days. I think you will find that your stroke will get faster with a longer time to prepare.
