How about 200 butterfly LCM workout suggestions?
Would like to hear suggestions. Not sure if it is better to swim 100 repeats or 300s. Also, have people tried to swim sets underwater?
Here is a nice example in a LCM pool:
600 w.u.
4x200 free on 2:50
8x100 fly on 1:50
8x50 free on :45
6x50 fly kick on 1:00

Butterfly,
Just browsing thru some old posts and saw yours. I myself am a 200 flyer. In my more younger years I always found that doing sets of 250's or 300's better than repeating 100's. Felt it was better for endurance and able to bring home that second hundred without much pain :-)
For the sets underwater, well, again in my younger yrs, when I swam the 200 fly at Nationals, half my race was actually underwater, which has its pros and cons. First, you need to have strong kick to be able to keep up underwater as others are swimming. Good thing is that is saves your shoulders for the last 50 :-) Bad thing is if you do not practice underwater, you will be going into ogyen debt.
For Underwater sets, I like to do for example 5x100. First lap underwater, then 75 fly. Then I just move the underwater each time so on 2nd hundred, the second lap is underwater and so on
Good to see there are stillsome crazy people out there that like the 200 fly :-)
