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 coach used to have me swim a 100s as 25 fly, 50 free, 25fly and 200s as (I think) 50 fly, 50 free, 25 fly, 50 free, 25 fly. So you would always end on fly and be tired, but not struggling...well that was the theory!
As an aside, it really improved my distance free, and while my fly times were never great, I could finish, and have the ability to climb out of the pool :)
