when you are in good swim shape easy fly with good form requires less effort than easy breaststroke with good form. Really. (Flat easy breaststroke (bad form) is easier, or course.) that is not to say that this isn't quite a feat!
OK, inspired by this thread I did the 400m fly as 25 hard/25 easy and on the 25 easy, had a good glide phase and almost zero leg/quad engagement and just flicked the feet at the end minimizing oxygen utilization. I think with some practice, I can get to 1000m fly continuous, not for time, but just to cover the distance without completely dogging it. I would say that I am at the point that my easiest fly is still more difficult than a hard breaststroke, but I totally suck at the latter.
