I'm not from a competitive swimming background but has volunteer to coach our informal masters group once a week. I'm trying to establish a theme for each session (8-10 weeks). Last one was the 1000 yards. We did lots of pace work and endurance sets for the last 2 months. This next session I've decided to focus on the 100 Fly.
Most of the swimmers can do 25 or 50 yards for a few repeats but that's all. Most of the swimmers are 40-50 years old with no competitive swim background either. Our workouts are 1 hour (3 x week).
Does anyone have any suggestions on sets for 100 Fly or just good resources for coaching in general.
Thanks so much!!

I think that you need to just start with some 25's one day. On n time. Then work up to 5X50 or 10X50 on like say 1:00 or so. Then stay with those for a week or so. Then try some 75's on 2:00. Taht should give you some rest as opposed to time sets. After a week of 75's o even two weeks, the last 25 will be a breeze. 100's will be a piece of cake.
