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!
Thanks you guys! These are all great ideas. Sad thing, Debugger, I DO have a coach of sorts - but he's not too into stroke technique - he sorta tolerates my presence in the USA-S practice that he coaches (I am the only person over the age of 25 in the practice & my birth year is 1959).
Wookie, I'll try & get my son to video me this next weekend so you can all laugh at my pathetic-ness. He is a college swimmer & has tried to help me some - but he's a *** stroker & not too strong at fly either.
Here's some sad news - was informed that I needed to help my husband lift our canoe on top of the car after our little trip down the Suwanee today - Ha ha! Guess that explains my lack of strength on the fly! (Had to get someone else to lift the #*%!! canoe!)
