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.

Man, that hurts to watch. It hurts because I am a flier, a hasbeen flier trying to recapture something. But I have no endurance for it now and my kick is weak. I can feel myself down to my last three strokes watching that.
Thanks for your honest opinion Herb. I guess you feel like I'm doing my last three strokes before giving up. On the other hand, poor technique like this is excellent for building endurance :) I usually give up after 50m (with sinking hips from the very first stroke) with heart rate around 150/min. I measured time only once, it was 50m per 55 seconds (without jump or underwater kicking).
Regards.
