In the butterfly stroke, the recommended timing for breathing is to **breathe as your arms move from the recovery phase into the pulling phase**.
This timing allows you to lift your head out of the water as your arms come forward after the recovery phase, so you can take a breath just before your hands enter the water to begin the pull. This technique helps maintain rhythm and streamline body position in the water.
