Kick Dolphin Legs whilst on your side. Stretch one arm down the pool above the head holding the top of a small float, keep the other arm by your side. Keep your feet together as you kick to opposite sides of the pool. This drill will help increase flexibility in your shoulders as well as condition the legs.

Butterfly - Drills:

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.
