One of my goals in the 2004 short course season is to swim the 200 fly and complete it without embarassing myself. I am looking for anyone who can provide me with some training guidelines / tips.
Thanks
That was one of my goals last season, and I'd like to think that I at least came close to succeeding. One thing that helped me a lot was working on my underwater dolphin kick (since I'm a backstroker, it was beneficial to my main events too). Some people will probably scream that this is unfair and not swimming, but it's still legal as long as you pop up by the 15-meter mark - not that I ever got anywhere near that after the first length. If I kick 10 meters off each wall, I find that I am less likely to have a piano fall on my shoulders somewhere around the 150.
