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

    the best prepared I ever was for distance fly came about through a season of stroke drills, kicking and adding fly to my freestyle sets. through out the season, when ever we worked on any middle distance freestyle sets the coach gently introduced fly for me. when doing sets of 100's, we would start adding 25 Fly drill or swim either at the beginning or the end (150's, 200's or 300's would use 50 Fly). Later this would build so that we were alternating fly drill, fly & free. Then we would be adding all fly swims of 50 or 75. Eventually, we would wind up doing 12 or 20 x 100's Fly without much problem. never did too many 200+ Fly's or better in practice, but would alternate by 100's or 50's. Occasionally, we would do 8x200 alt 200 Fr/200 Fl. Other coaches I swam for would hit us right off the bat with a bunch of fly and it never felt right because I couldn't hold my stroke. The season long build up got me swimming fly quicker and I was able to go futher without hitting the wall.
