Butterfly - Teaching a Better Catch - Step 1

In teaching a better butterfly catch, the goal is to make sure the swimmer is engaging the forearms with a high elbow early into the process. Start slowly, and build the body line. Have the swimmer put on some fins and a snorkel. Work on kicking with a good body line in Position 11. Be careful the head isn't too elevated, but the eyes are seen under the arms during extension. Keep the kick light, so the focus stays forward.
