starting to butterfly

I decided to learn butterfly this week(so far I have been swimming freestyle and breaststroke).I watched a ton of videos of butterfly and know the basics of that stroke.However, I was wondering if some people here remember their first time trying to swim it and how soon after you first tried it you figured it out, because I don't seem to coordinate all the movements right and my effort is pretyy much over once i throw my hands over the water for the first time(that's when i lose my kick).I thought maybe I should do it in phases, so I would like to see if someone could suggest some separate drills or something that would gradually lead to a better feel of the entire stroke. Thanks a lot.

    Awesome!!!I'll go!Are stroke clinics all about correcting the stroke or also instructing how to do the stroke to those who never tried it before?How can I find out more info about it?How much does it usually cost? The class is for many levels and I found out it when I was looking to join a masters team. I think that if you go to the minnesota swimming web site at this address you should be able to find out more information. It is for all ages and they have 8 lanes of different levels. It sounds like it will be fun!! www.mnswim.org/.../
