That's so cool that you're using pilates to help and they can give you exercises to help. I'm curious about pilates, I have friends who just love it.

Does anyone have tips for mastering (haha, take that word loosely) the butterfly? I know this is the triathlon thread and triathletes usually opt for freestyle, but I thought I'd go ahead and ask. I just started learning it last week and I'm awful at it. I can't get the kick right even though I seem to have the hang of it on dry land, well, the wavy body part. And when I try to add the arms in, I can only take two strokes (also used loosely here) before stopping. Mainly I feel like there's no power in my kick. My instructor is great but I was just wondering if you had any tips/tricks.
