Hi,
I'm a butterfly beginner and currently having problem with my hips sinking too much when my arms start with the recovery. I posted some videos at my blog (http://blog.grkovic.com/?p=30) Hips sink so much that first downkick barely lifts them above them the water. Sometimes, they don't even come out.
If anybody would have any suggestions, I would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks.

I had that problem too. The thing that worked for me was tons of core/ab strengthening exercises. I also do a lot of SDK drills and dolphin kicking on my back to feel the burn in those hard to reach ab muscles. I also mentally tell myself to "keep the hips high". Sometimes mind over matter is the best way (for me, when I'm tired.....and I'm tired all the time when it comes to fly :D)
