My new year's resolution is to put more time into my swim (for as long as possible) and one of the things I want to do is learn how to swim butterfly. At the moment, I can swim 25m of fly, but the last 5-10 metres are pretty ugly. My heart rate maxes out and it just feels so hard, I know I am not doing it right. So I am starting by using one-arm fly to try to get the motion and rhythm a bit, and I can swim 100s of one-arm fly fairly easily.
What is the next step after one-arm fly? Is there a progression or do I just need to swim 25s of fly and take the rest I need to be ready to do another? Are there dryland exercises that will help, maybe using bands? There seem to be hundreds of online resources for freestyle but much more limited when it comes to fly...
Thanks for any advice.
