Many moons ago - maybe 7 or 8 years, my teammates and myself would discuss which is harder - the 200 fly or 400IM. I always thought the 400IM would be worse as it involves backstroke which drains me and then I would have to stay with the plot on 100 ***, and I'm not a breaststroker by any stretch of the imagination. 200 fly on the other hand, well its all fly and 200 less than the 400IM and once you've got your rhythm you're set ..... so what do you all think?

  • 200 fly much harder than the 400 IM, and I'm a flyer. I've done 5 x 400 IMs in practice (switching them up forward and reverse every other) and it was not too bad, I think we got around 50 seconds rest after each one in the sets we used to do. Could not imagine doing more than one 200 fly in a practice.
