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!!!
I have a tendency to breath late on fly. It has been like that since I was younger. Any tips on fixing it?
You should be beginning to lift your head slightly for the breath just as your hand begin to break into the sculling part of your pull. The head should be back down as you're finishing the "flip" of your hands past your thighs to recover the arms over the top. If your head is still up breathing at this point you'll feel really awkward.
