I took two videos yesterday, I wanted to know what you guys think I am doing wrong, (or right), and how I can improve my strokes.
This is a 50 fly, 50 free combo,

And this is just a 50 Free by itself,

You're timing is off. You're breathing in the wrong point. I'd need to see the underwater views but it's easy to see that your head is entering after your hands. Good butterflyers are fully extended at the end of their stroke (legs fully extended as well as arms). So you're timing needs to get better. You certainly have the strength necessary and if you can correct the timing issue (tough one to correct) you'd be able to swim a 100 with a lot more efficiency (easier and faster times). Please look a the youtube video of Misty Hyman (just type in her name and underwater butterfly) her chest movement can be duplicated by doing underwater fly without a recovery (slowly so you can learn the timing). Also watch the underwater videos of Phelps at the Olympics, the extention is very noticeable from all the swimmers. Good luck, If you'd like more information please email me at tomtopo@netzero.com Good luck, Coach T.
