I think it's a good idea to never practice butterstruggle! After you do a few laps of fly and start tiring just pull on some fins so you can work on technique without getting too tired.

Oops! Darn autocorrect/typos! Thanks. For some reason I was thinking there was a fly pullout. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

At my first meet I competed all stones but fly. We prefer to call them "strokes." Stones and swimming don't really go together. :) My real question is about the start and turn. Is it like freestyle, where you can streamline with dolphin kick as far as 15 meters, or does it have a pull out like *** or other specific rules? Yes, it's like freestyle in that you must surface by 15 meters. Unlike free, though, you must use a dolphin kick throughout the race, both underwater and on the surface. The turns are like breaststroke in that you must touch with both hands simultaneously.

Agre with Knelsen. Yes you can even do more kicks in the lap. Try slowing the stroke down to go more distance. pull - kick - glide then repeat to go for more than a yard between arm pulls. See if that helps going farther. Keep at it.
