Training for 200 Fly

I train alone because there is not an organized swim team up here. My goal is to try and train up for the 200 fly again. It has been over a decade since I last swam it and have had some life changes since then (bionic back). Can anyone give me better advice on how to properly train up for the 200 fly event again? Any sets or advice would be great! Thanks!!!

  • In addition, you need to do alot of high yardage sets to do a good 200 fly. When I only trained about 10 to 15K a week, I could only do about low 2:20s in the yards 200 fly. Now, I train about 20 to 30K a week and can do low 2:30s in the LCM 200 fly during heavy training and close to 2:10 in yards during heavy training. If you can't train that much, at least add endurance free sets to your training. You need good stamina to have a strong 200 fly.
