Help a self-coach out (kick-kick-pull butterfly)

I noticed today that I do this: www.youtube.com/watch :( 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?

  • the arms dip down and then back up to the surface Yep, I have some of this happening too. If I concentrate, it's actually not hard to avoid. And focusing on the chest press does seem to help make the second kick bigger, which helps with the breathing. Now I just need to do about a hundred thousand yards of drills to make these changes permanent :D
