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:

After having kids I realised just how much I relied on my core muscles to swim fly - and there I was thinking it was all upper body :doh:. So practice your kick - on your front, back, sides and get all those muscles working from your chest down. I was soooooo slow at this at first, but it improved quickly.
I am back to what I feel is a decent 50 speed, haven't raced 100 yet, but have completed a couple of 200s in practice just to see if I could. Hang in there - it'll come :)
