Hey guys, I've been swimming for about 6 months now. I swim 4 or 5 times a week for about 3 kays. I recently started butterfly a month ago and almost straight away I could do 50m but I just can't go any further. I know I've got a good stroke cos a coach I see sometimes said so.
I was wondering if anyone had some drills or anaerobic exercises that would help me do 100m or more cos I've been stuck for ages.
Thanks :drowning:

You would probably get a better response if you posted on the General Swimming-Related Discussion Forum.
To improve your fly endurance I think you should do lots of fly drill and freestyle. Also do fly sets with perfect technique and lots of rest.
You should read the butterfly lane posts:

You can also search the following sites for fly workouts:

Edit: I would read this thread too:
