Nice Video.
Context: I am an adult, learning butterfly for the first time. Needless to say, it needs LOT of practice compared to kids. I am quite comfortable (though not perfect) with wiggles/dolphin kick. I am getting comfortable with butterfly arm stroke (pull, recovery with arms above the water, face in first, etc) with a FREESTYLE KICK. But, when I try to put the butterfly stroke together, I am messing up with the timing. As a result, I do only one stroke cycle some times able to take that one breathe. sometimes not and I stop.
When I say timing, I see two things - Timing for the breathe (which is when the arms start to come out of the water on the sides) and the timing between the kicks and the arms (where I am messing with.
Now, the question is - What should the legs/hips be doing (upbeat/downbeat part of the FIRST/SECOND kick precisely)
a. When you begin your arm stroke
b. When you take a breathe
c. When you recover and stretch it forward
In other words, when to do the first kick and when to do the second kick and what should the arms be doing during those kicks?
A response is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi guys. Any suggestions on how to spend less energy in fly? Can swim rather fast 25 or 50m, but finishing 100 is already a huge struggle. However, I can kick with the board for quite a lot. But adding arm strokes kills me in about 30 seconds.

What about when you're teaching your kids? How's the leg actions? I get to see they bent their knees too much. Any help?
