Take three kicks sculling out front. Think about pressing your chest forward and keeping your hips high. After you scull three times, take one very powerful butterfly stroke and reset back at the top. Try working in 25s, so you can really focus on your technique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3 Kick Hesitation Butterfly <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emphasizes grabbing more water and holding the dolphin-like rhythm of the stroke.
