I have the lofty goal of being able to go 50-100 LCM fly without toys. I can currently go about 25 yards. Can anyone help me devise a plan day by day of what to do to strengthen my shoulders/body enough to be able to do this? I do have fairly good rhythm - I used to race the 200 fly as a kid & can still kick fly well, and of course, I am most impressive when I wear my little zoomers - but even with zoomers, my arms start to die, and then I run out of breath around 37.5 meters. Any great ideas out there? Thanks!
Things which helped me:
1. Head always leads the hands. Your head should come for air before hands come out for recovery and it should go into water before hands. This makes better body position and prevents plow position in the water which causes much drag.
FWIW - this was the most helpful single piece of advice anyone ever gave me about fly, especially the second half, the head has to go down before the hands.
