Why is it that often older people do a version of butterfly that looks very beautiful but leisurely, like water ballet as my coach says? What is it that we lack that prevents us from doing an energetic, aerobic looking butterfly. My coach says the snap of the legs will do it and I am working on that. Anything else? Thanks

My understanding is that frog kick with butterfly is now legal as long as you do that for the entire butterfly length. I am not sure that it counts for world records, though.
In his book "Swimming Dynamics" Cecil Colwin details the evolution of butterfly and breaststroke. It's a fantastic section - a great read.
