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

The best 200 yard fly I swam,. When I was 18 years old, I swam a 2:31 200 yard fly and went out faster in the morning swim. I made the consolation heat of the 200 yard fly in the JO's and swam much slower spliting at 1:13 in the first 100 yard and doing the second at 1:16, now for our age groups in the 40's, the 40-44 and the 45-49, anyone who does a 2:29 butterfly is not that bad. Not that great if your a guy, really good if you are a gal. Try to almost negative split it or swim your second 100 yard not much slower than your first 100 yard.
