What to remember before and in a Butterfly Race...

There are lots of things to remember in a Butterfly race:

On the Dive:

Put your goggles on at the side of the block,
When the first whistle blows you climb on to the block,
Then when the official says ' Take to your Marks' you pull back on the block as hard as you can,
Then when the seconds whistle beeps you push off the block with all your strength.

When you enter the water:

When you enter be streamline as possible,
You need to be about 1-2 feet under the water not to deep but not to shallow,
Then do a few quick fly icks underwater making sure you get past the flags on the dive,
Then come up and go straight into the stroke.

On the Swimming:

You should keep your legs together at all times,
As your arms come over:

When they come by your sides you kick once,
Then when they come near your head you kick once again so in the end you are kicking twice per stroke,

On the Turn:

You must touch the wall with two hands then as the same as breastroke you lift one arm over you head as the other whon goes up your body they then meet and you are streamline,
Then do a few fly kicks again like the dive and then come up and do the stroke again,

On he finish:

Touch the wall with two hands and hit the wall as hard as you can making sure that you actually hit it as this could knock off point 0's of a second.
