Hi,
I need help with my butterfly stroke. Does anyone know of any good drills that would help with the timing of breathing? I've been told that I breath too late in my stroke and lift my head too high. When I try to modify my stroke, I get a lung full of water. Any tips?

I also was breathing late ... but the root of my problem was stretching out for too long when I first dove into the water (with the stroke) ... I was delaying the start of my arm stroke by taking a nice long stretchy glide forward. When I really start my arm stroke right away it sort of shoots me along and my head just pops up and into the next stroke and my arms follow nicely. Maybe this will help you. Good luck!!!
