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
What did you do in practice today?

Hi there, Dan! :wave: Thanks for weighing in! You are the first person to ever point that out about my hips at that part of my stroke.
In doing so, I felt like I lost even more power in my kick, so I have to figure that out. Next, I will work more on my arms!
That's what I was trying to get at when I was talking about the kick. I just didn't say it as well. Here's the big thing I see - it looks like you bend pretty deliberately at the hips. That's what I was getting at about it looking like a deliberate motion, when it should not be. It appears to create a disjointed kick. So it almost looks like you are kicking with your upper legs, rather than your core. It should start as your chest goes down and, as Dan said, create a whip. Hard to compare perspectives, but if you look at the instructional video you post, at 35:30, there is an underwater video. It looks like his body makes a smooth sine wave. It appears to my very novice eyes that the bend at the hips was more pronounced in the second video.
