Hey everyone:bliss:
I had a question about side breathing in the butterfly and was hoping someone could help me out as I've been experimenting with it but am not sure if I am doing it correctly. My question is this...
When bringing the head out of the water and turning it to the side do I keep my head in that position when again entering the water or do I move my head back to the front position after turning it. Sorry if this question is stupid but I like the feeling I get when I do the fly like this and want to make sure my head movements are correct.
Thanks!!!
As a side breather in fly for more than 20 years, I do it the same way that you do free. Head low to the water & return your head to down as you would in free. Down or neutral position for the head is the best way to cut drag. Have you tried to swim free with forward breathing? No , because it will cause your hips to drop & cut back on getting a good air intake.
