Sprint Help
Ive been swimming competitively for about 8 yrs and I started on a distance team (I had to do the mile, 400 IM, 200 Fly, etc starting at 10) and switched teams and am having issues taking out all the hundreds fast enough. Im a butterflier but i really cant take it out very well in the 100 or IMs. Ive been told that I had a really long, powerful stroke I just cant take out 100s well.

For short course i go a 54.95 100 Fly but split 26.4 - 28.5. Long course I go a 1:01.80 and split 29.5 - 32.3. The issue isnt that I just cant sprint I split a 27.7 on a lcm relay the week b4 i went the 1:01, so idk whats wrong. It also shudnt be that i need to pace myself cuz im a 1:59 200 fly, which is better than my hundred (at least based on the y competition i faced when i went those times). If anyone can help me with any drills or wrkouts i can d it would be much appreciated, i have the same issue with the 100 breast, and i normally take out the first 50 of a 200 faster than in the 100.

Thank you all so much!
