I did a 50 fly in my first swim meet in 20+ years with minimal training so I thought I would have no problem doing a 100 three months later. Since then I have trained harder and improved significantly in the freestyle with speed and endurance yet I still die after 50 yards of butterfly. 95% of my training is free as the fly takes everything out of me. At the end of a 2000 yard workout I might do one 50. That might not sound like much to you all but I can do a set of like 15 x 100 which is well beyond what i have been capable in years.
Once a week I might do 10X25 fly or I might just see how far I can go. I always die after the 2nd turn. Complete breakdown. Yet I could do a 50 months ago without any concern at all of just completing the distance.
My stroke may be fundamentally flawed. Maybe I just got by as a youth on raw power. The only form I have is all out until the momentum is lost and then it is complete breakdown withing 3 strokes. I don't know if there is some kind of hesitation stroke I can use to get through, but at this point I think I need sets and strategies to build up to it on the stroke I have.

Hi Syd,
I’havent good news…
In warm my tecnique was perfect, exactly like you write, hips up and head and chest down with good slipping, push forward, no up, recovery relax and breath down.
In the race I have wrong the breakout and so the coordination of stroke...After the first wrong stroke for me was very difficult improve...1.16.40 is my result, no good!!! :bitching: (Master 40 not ex-agonist )
What you think about my training, can I do better?
Can you give me some advice?
Please HELP ME!!!
Thankyou very much!!!
