Undulation will occur when the head and upper body rises and falls in relation to the kick, pull and breathing pattern. Develop a good streamline position by placing your face in the water before the hands enter at the front of the stroke. The hips are swept up to the water surface as the head and face drop onto the water surface, at which point the arms are swept forwards over the top of the water. Develop rhythm and timing rather than just strength and power."},{"linkHref":"drills/Swimming/Stroke-Development-Butterfly/Stroke-Development-Butterfly4.jsp","fileType":"7","pracBGColor":"#ffffff","pracSportDir":"viewer/movies/swimming","fileName":"breathing","pracTitle":"Stroke-Development-Butterfly4","pracDescription":"BreathingLifting the head to the front of the stroke during the arm action for one big breath."},{"linkHref":"drills/Swimming/Stroke-Development-Butterfly/Stroke-Development-Butterfly5.jsp","fileType":"7","pracBGColor":"#ffffff","pracSportDir":"viewer/movies/swimming","fileName":"breathing","pracTitle":"Stroke-Development-Butterfly5","pracDescription":"BreathingLifting the head to the front during the arm action keeping the chin low to the water surface with the breath taken as the hands approach and move past the hips."},{"linkHref":"drills/Swimming/Stroke-Development-Butterfly/Stroke-Development-Butterfly6.jsp","fileType":"7","pracBGColor":"#ffffff","pracSportDir":"viewer/movies/swimming","fileName":"breathing","pracTitle":"Stroke-Development-Butterfly6","pracDescription":"BreathingLifting the head to the front of the stroke or slightly sidewaysduring the arm action.

The whole body enters through the same point of contact which the fingers have made as if you were diving through a hoop. On entry into the water the body becomes streamlined when fully submerged. The feet are kept together and kick upwards and downwards in the butterfly dolphin kick action to maintain speed. Kick to a maximum distance of 15 metres underwater within the laws of competitive swimming. Ensure the kick drives the body to the water surface and allow the head to break the surface for your first swimming stroke."},{"linkHref":"drills/Swimming/Stroke-Development-Butterfly/Stroke-Development-Butterfly9.jsp","fileType":"7","pracBGColor":"#ffffff","pracSportDir":"viewer/movies/swimming","fileName":"diving","pracTitle":"Stroke-Development-Butterfly9","pracDescription":"DiveStand firmly on the poolside or starting block with toes rapped around the front edge.

Dive out down the pool to full stretch; Pike at the highest point of the dive whilst in the air in order to enter the water surface, the whole body enters through the same point of contact on the water surface as if you were diving through a hoop; Snap out of this position and into a streamlined position on immediate entry into the water in order for the body to follow through the same point of entry. Hold a streamlined position underwater with a continuous dolphin leg kick to maintain speed up to a maximum of fifteen metres within the laws of swimming. It is possible to find greater speed whilst underwater due to good streamlining and momentum. Ensure the leg kick drives the body right up to the water surface; Maintain speed and lift the head to break the water surface in order to resume full stroke. A slightly deeper dive is required for butterfly. If you dive too flat you will loose speed through the water and effort from the poolside or starting block will be lost.
