I think one of the reason is that you may not engage your core muscles (abs).. many ppl thought your leg must constantly kicking so that it won't sink, but that's half.
Engage your abs all the time to straighten your body posture, and keep your hips high.
We don't just kick with legs, it often starts from our hips... and butterfly it may start all the way from chest (f not mistaken), and hips definitely.
So don't forget to engage your abs and hips!
My thought only la, i'm not a coach, and I have been swimming only for 2 months, but able to do all the strokes. Somemore I may have mild asthma or near to asthma, but I don't have asthma!

Help! I need advice.
I have been learning for swimming for more than 6 months.
I know how to swim breaststroke (not very good, docy leg part got problem) and freestyle.
But my coach told me that my body is very stiff and the bottom half of my body is sinking downward. Hence making me keep on like trying to float out and grasping for air.
I am do gym and train karate on weekday and swimming on weekend. Is this the reason why my body is stiff and caused my bottom half to sink downward?
Other than that, I also find that my stamina aka breath is not that good, very fast run out of air...
Need advice. Thank you
