So, I am a so-so butterflyer--go 27.5 in the 50 yds and 1:04 IN THE 100 (59 yds old). I can only maintain body position and foreward motion if I am going around :32 on the 50's. I can't maintain any form and swim slower. Anything slower than this and I take on a cork like profile--all bobbing. I would like to learn to swim the 200 but there is no way in this life that I can maintain a :32 sec split--I want to know how I should train/what I should do to smooth out my form, swim slower and be able to hit ~ :36 sec's on the 50's. A mid 2::20's on the 200 would suit me fine.
I breathe to the side to keep my head down in fly. If you are a freestyle swimmer, this should be easy. This also lets me go farther in fly.
Most of all - slow it down.
I am a freestyle swimmer, and I find this impossible to breathe to the side on butterfly!
Slow it down!!????!????????? :dunno: He must be talking about the 1st 50 or something. I take my 200 out about the same as my 400 IM...which is about the same as my 100 fly for that matter. :banana:
