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

Matt,
Thanks for your post. Glad to hear you completed the 200 w/out too much of a problem. I've been working on the fly as well IM's and distance over the past couple of weeks. Don't want to burn out on too much fly.
In any case I did a 150 to open a fly set the other day and I really felt good. In fact when I finished I told my training partner (who will compete in the 55 - 59 age group in the 2004 SC season) that I could have done another 50, easy. Didn't really worry about the speed, just kept the body stretched out and glided all the while generating most of the power from my legs.
I will work on more of your suggestions and look forward to your future posts.
Take care,
Fryan
