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 agree with the one arm drill, what I do is 3 right followed by 3 left and then the rest of the way to the end with full stroke. I also always keep my other arm out in front.
I try to never use a board for kicking, I find if I do my kicking under the water it gives you a much closer body motion, I try not to use boards in any of the strokes as it does hurt my shoulders.
I also find breathing every second stroke works much better, your body seems to flow so much easlier.
