Swimming: Butterfly - Drills

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

Swim one full stroke cycle over the water diving underwater to kick three dolphin kicks before resuming one full stroke on the surface. You must drop your head down underwater to allow your hips to lift, you are then able to kick underwater. This will develop the undulation of butterfly and a good hypoxic drill for improving your lung capacity.
