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!

Sorry Jim.

Weight and strength training have been a core of training it seems "forever" and this type of training is especially helpful for Masters swimmers and for the benefits that Leslie notes and more.

As in all training scenarios the type of training needs to be appropriate and it is the same with weight training. Leslie notes performing "complex functional lifts" where in contrast, lifting for definition and pure muscle mass would not be the best objective for swimming training.

Check the article and feel free to 'weigh' in.
