It seems like I do better in fly if I make an effort to ride high in the water. Sometimes I try to convert all of my pull into forward motion and I feel like I am sinking and my body is too low in the water.
Should a good part of the pull be used to regain height in the water? Is this the primary function of the pull? Does most of the forward gain come from the recovery portion with high hips rather than the pull?
Still trying to figure this stroke out.

Hey Rob,
I try to get really high on my pull and get clear out of the water if at all possible during fly. The higher you get, the easier it is to spin around and sit on the side, staying out of the way, while others swim fly. If you get high enough, you can get your feet on the deck and make your way to the locker room for a "bathroom break."
Hope that helps.
