Butterfly, beautiful to watch, difficult to train.
We SDK off every wall.
We're most likely to smack hands with each other and those beside us.
Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down

I have been toying with the idea of swimming more fly. I use to swim fly a lot in hs and some in college.
I got burned out on the stroke in hs because it was forced upon me but after a longtime away from the stroke, I would like to give it another go.
Most of my fly the last few weeks has involved body dolphing, body dolphing working on the the timing of the catch and pull. I don't like one arm drills(even if the lane is crowded) because they put one at an unsual angle for fly.
The problem I am having is with the recovery. I cant seem to find a good point in the stroke to release the water to start the recovery and how the recovery should go.
I see videos of swimmers that look like the recovery is a circular motion from the back to the front, yet read about it being a release to the side and sweeping the arms back to the front.
Fly use to be decent for me but now it a struggle. Any suggestions on how to do the recovery and release point into the recovery?
