PHILLIP TORIELLO: Hello and welcome to Expert Village. I'm Phillip Toriello from the Avila
Bay Athletic Club. Underwater Drills: One basic underwater drill that I like using for
butterfly is the dolphin kick without the kickboard. Basically, it's 25-yard swims,
just utilizing the dolphin kick. Arms outreached in front of me, I'll just utilize my kick
to see how far I can go on one breath, and really, this is a breathing control exercise
in addition to a strengthening exercise for the legs. Go as deep as you want, stay just
off the bottom so you're not cracking your knees on the base of the pool, and just dolphin
kicks as far as you can go. You can base your intervals on your ability and go from there.
