Hey guys, I've been swimming for about 6 months now. I swim 4 or 5 times a week for about 3 kays. I recently started butterfly a month ago and almost straight away I could do 30m, but I just can't go any further. I know I've got a good stroke cos a coach I see sometimes said so.
I was wondering if anyone had some drills or anaerobic exercises that would help me do 100m or more cos I've been stuck for ages.
Thanks :drowning:

You know, this is a good question. I used to be fairly good at the butterfly as a kid, and now, I swear 50 meters tuckers me out! And it's not my arms! I feel like I'm gasping for breath & not getting all the CO2 out. It's ridiculous.
I love how people say, oh, just go easy - butterfly is never easy for me. I can go harder and faster, but easy is not happening. I do agree that by strengthening my kick and doing weights that I can spend less time gasping for air, but why oh why am I gasping for air at all? Maybe I'm just old? :cane:
