Worried about 200 yd Fly.

It's my first time swimming it, and the most fly i've done is 100, and that was only twice. Any advice would be appreciated Oh, my shoulders have been bothering me at practice, mostly during free or backstroke. On the rotator cuff on my left arm, the top of the shoulders on both harms and on the sides. Would icing and heating be sufficient? or icy hot possibly? Thanks!

Any advice would be appreciated The first time I swam 200 fly (SCM at the ripe old age of 27) my goal was to finish and be able to clear the water with my arms down the last length. Start out slowly, slower than slowly, find an easy rhythm and stick with it for 6 lengths. If there is anything left put a bit more power into the final 50. Don't go blasting off on length 7 though 'cos the piano is always close by and breathe often. Good luck! (My 200 fly career was short though, I haven't swum it in probably 6 years :blush:)
