Hi! I wanted to have your opinion on the following (if I am delusional or not): I want to be able, at some point, to do a full 1km butterfly stroke without any pause (in a 25m swimmingpool).
At the moment I am a thin 30 years old man, 1m72 for 59 kg. I have been swimming for a while now, but never competitively. I am not significantly muscular but I am able to swim for more than 2k freestyle or breast stroke pretty smoothly in a go (never attempted more but pretty confident I would be able to)
Regarding butterfly stroke, i am able to swim it for 100m maximum in a go. What is lacking to continue is mainly the oxygen, and I would say the upper back muscles. At some point I was able to swim 1k butterfly but with 20 seconds breaks between each 25m. Because I want to swim it on long distances, I do 3 kicks per arm mouvement, and breathe on each arm movement. I just felt it was smoother, but I am not sure this is the best method.
Considering this, do you think I would be able to so a full 1k if I keep training or is it really hard? If you have any training tips to achieve this I would be very interested.
Thank you very much!
