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

To Steve,
I have read about trying to swim downhill by getting the head and chest lower as I finish my kick. It gets the hips higher to reduce drag. And it supposedly sets up tension for a good beginning on your arm stroke. That might be somthing your could try. Your hips seem possibly low. It worked for me.
I also noticed tension from my hands to my toes for just an instant to help me finish my kick strong by bending at the waist to get my chest down. It gave me a slight sensation of sliding downhill on my chest and preloads my arms for a strong start at the arm stroke.
I mostly do 1,000 yards of fly, and not much sprinting of it, so my techniques likely vary from yours.
Breathe a lot from the beginning before it is too late.
