Hello, I'm a UK swimmer (41) who took up swimming following a running injury 4 years ago. A familiar scenario to many. My freestyle and breaststroke is OK and infact I do fairly well in a breaststroke set at the club.
My butterfly is like a stone in the water however. I have chatted to other members , the coach, and watched the good guys, but it does not seem to happen. I get no real leg power on a kick in, kick out rhythym for each arm pull. I know the power comes from the stomach as well as the legs and I know rhythym is important. Has anybody had any great moments of enlightenment. No amount of drill work seems to make a huge difference. Any ideas ?

That's true,where would water polo be then without a little mugging. I play in about 3 games that were official and the JR college I attended had it as a PE class. Unforunately back in the 1970's in high school you had to join the boys team. Their was no girls team. I'm surprise at your knowlege of water polo since almost most states except for California where its popular few other places play. Arizona just as a handful of USA water polo teams and no high school program.
