Sinking hips during recovery in fly

Thank you very very much for having found this clip for me. I do appreciate it a lot. Apologies to the original poster for what's getting to look more and more like a thread hijack. I hope that you're still finding this discussion interesting. I do agree that what's happening under water is very important. In the same time though, I must follow Newton's third a little bit to you know? Here's my first 50bf of the season. You can clearly see the extent of the problem. Some of the energy expanded during this swim is basically slowing me down. You can't splash that much without creating drag forces. YouTube- First 50m BF early season competition I know that the following clip has been referred to over and over, but it is so hot. Look at this clean arm entry. This is just want I want. I may not cut that much time implementing this change but I'm sure it's a good deal anyway. YouTube- Michael Phelps - Butterfly 01 Best hand/arm entry I've ever seen for a butterfly specialist. My humble analysis on what to do to achieve this: Bring those arm in front as fast as possible (fast recovery) until shoulder width, then feel as if you were simply letting yourself fall in the water. No downward arm momentum upon entry. Just some body weight. An other tricky aspect involves performing a shallow catch while having the entire upper body that sinks deeper than the catch (down hill swimming). I haven't really addressed this. 1 thing at the time ;-)
