The hips are the target area for stretching. there are also some mechanics involced that are a must to get any kind of real width. bear in mind that extreme width is not a requirement for bfly use. The wider your fly becomes, the more risky it gets. Being ran into while very wide can put you over backwards leading to some serious injury risks.

you need to keep a well rounded stretch routine as well as some added attention to the hip and groin stretching.
