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

This is usuallly the agrument against breathing every stroke. But some of us don't have the conditioning in our 40's to be able to do it everyother stroke in a 200 yard or in my case even for most of the 100 yard. As for the breaststroke,many of the swimmers in their 50's will tell you in the late 1950's and early 1960's,people were swimming 100's and 200's almost totally underwater except for coming up for breath at the turn. The AAU ban that because it pose a risk. Remember it wasn't long ago where swimmers where doing dolphin kick almost for the while swim in back and fly. I don't know if the reasons were similar to the ban on *** in the early 1960's or because they felt it change fly and back too much.
