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,
Scroll down the page and watch this girl swim fly...just as you described. High recovery. She makes it look easy with the arms getting little interference with the water.

The low chin al Phelps can keep your hips up, but you may wind up bogging down and creating form drag.
