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 ?

Yeah, Marc, as a matter of fact all these shoulder problems got me thinking about the IDEAL technique.I would not like to end up with a bad shoulder, but in my case I am only 24 and the longest break I had from any kind of excersizing was no longer than a few months since I remember myself...Although that does not mean anything, does it?:-)
TO LINDSAY: the picture says it all,thanks, so I think I will stick to what I see there...
