Sinking hips during recovery in fly

By very far, the best illustration indeed. Very careful on the leg recovery, very explosive on the leg wip kick. BTW Lyndsay, I did my first gym session yesterday prior a 1500 swim workout (mostly but not limited to butterfly). The result went over my expectations. No pain at all, during the swim session and after the swim session. And as a bonus, I lowered the 100m pull down under 1:10 on a 15 stroke per 25m diet. In other words, Weights definitely seem to work well for me. Lyndsay, thanks for having taken the time to detect this little bug about my hips surfacing on second kick. It's been discussed here in post #46 - - - Predrag, if you notice, I cheat on the second kick. I still don't know if it's right or wrong. I haven't addressed that yet. But if you look at my butt on second kick I raise it back to the surface. I am not suggesting this is what you should do though, but since it's inline with your topic. I do that by instinct, again I think it's bad. I think I could get more forward momentum on second kick if I wasn't doing this. I believe that it is something my body is naturally doing. It origins from my no-arm butterfly drill. I'm still unsure yet if it's good or bad. One thing that I know is that any energy spent at surfacing (my bum) isn't spend moving forward. However, it may still has an indirect and favorable impact since it allows me to stay little more at the surface, I don't know. Not even sure if I'll have time this year to address this. Every flaw takes a long while to be solved and to tell you the truth, this arm entry without splashes is draining all my time available right now.
