forums.usms.org/.../icon9.gif FLY 100m?!?!?!?
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:
my times
Free
50m: 30
100m:1.18
200m:2.50
25fly: around 15
In addition to the advice above (core work, switching to one-arm when your stroke falls apart, working on 25's) I advise just entering a 100 fly at a meet! I worked on my fly in practice but just couldn't get myself to do a 100 fly at practice at all. I'd fall apart, get tired, decide that "today wasn't the day" and I just never did it. I finally entered the 100fly in a mini-meet at my home pool, and sure enough, my 100 fly was "there for me."
Worth a try maybe!
