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 find it very hard to get more than 2000 yards in a workout due to time constraints with work/family. You are doing more than me and the 200 fly is my favorite event.
One thing that has not been mentioned yet is using fins to do some longer fly sets. This may help keep your stroke together and allow you to focus on stretching your stroke out.
