:(
My kick is definitely already done by the time I need to breathe, so my arms need to push down to get my head out of the water, wasting precious energy that would better be used to push forward. All this up-and-down means I have died at the end of nearly every 200 butterfly I've ever done.
How do I fix it?

You should be kicking at a constant and regular rhythm regardless of how you're breathing. In the above video there is a noticeable pause between every other kick, and there shouldn't be.
