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

I myself aspire to become a better distance butterfly as it is my weakest stroke. But I've decided I want to learn how to SWIM the 200 fly as opposed to SURVIVING it. After 15+years my 100 fly is finally faster than my 100 ***, (short-course) and think it should be closer to my 200 br time as well.
I usually only swim 50's sets, or every other 50, as most people I swim with prefer the crawl, but at the ends of sets where others won't lap me, I'll try do some stroke work. Swimming in a slower lane for stroke would be nice but I ended up resting on the wall too long.
I'm currently working on not breathing every stroke. Although the breathing pattern helped my body position, I lost more time on turnover at nationals. I figure this is from spoiling my lungs rotten of all the air it wants when I swim sprint or long-distance freestyle (yes, I breathe almost every stroke). I'm currently looking for 1 or 2 fly sets within a 90 minute workout, any fav sets or help from anybody is appreciated.
