Head-up dolphin kick drill

I found the greatest help for me when getting the stroke put together was not to concentrate on the kick and to make sure the arms cleared the water and exiting cleanly, along with getting the whole body from the shoulders flexing, the hips up then hips down legs automatically following (just little movement).... This is the best short summation of fly I’ve ever seen, thanks! I can totally relate to this, as this has been my experience so far as well.

I found it (Actually on your site George which is great for its clip library btw). So that's a butterfly swimmer's head position while having her hands on the side. That's the exact same position that you get when doing head up bf kicking drill. The hands never reach the place they would be in this drill - i.e. elbows straight and hands trailing by the hips. At the moment the head is most "up" (i.e. moment of inhale) the hands are pretty much in line with the shoulders. So having the hands behind you with head up would create a position that one would hope never to see in whole-stroke. Full clip available here www.dropshots.com/day.php (George, if there's any copyright issue with the fact of posting one of your clip on my dropshot site please let me know. I did that this way in order to have a direct link to the clip itself.)

Solar every clip I use comes from Utube or other sources, I have posted some of my own. I have not been in problem as the links are the links directly from their sites. The only problem I have ever had was once I had a Total Immersion page that was directly linked to Terrys's site and was told I was not given permission to link to his site. Even though I had requested permission 2 weeks earlier and did not recieve a reply. If any one complains it takes 10 seconds to take their stuff off my site and have only had 1 complaint and will never refer another swimmer there again. I refer all kinds of brits to The Swim Shack a total immersion instructor in the UK.

Leslie and Bud, keep it simple and that is what works.
