I’ve been learning this beautiful stroke for 12 years and still struggle to maintain a good style over more than 50m. When I started I thought it’d be 12 months to master. It would probably have had, but only if I had hired a coach
Good style for 50m is still impressive, keep it up! Having someone look at your stroke, even for one or two lessons, and correct it here and there definitely speeds things up.
@@irenaanna The main point after many years of self-teaching was understanding that the chest press is mainly for getting the ideal position for the next power phase. Arms then push the upper body forward and slightly upward for the recovery. The hips must be up to reduce drag because arms recover over the water (unlike in breaststroke). I still have my personal goal to swim LC 100m under 2 minutes
You could do some video about a breathing paterns, if you already haven't. Personally, I just can't breath every stroke, I lose momentum so fast. The less I breath, the faster I go. 😅
Thanks, that's a good idea! And yes, if you watch the best swimmers race butterfly, they don't breathe at all for a 50m, for longer distances you need a lot of air though
Hi irina , i hope you are fine, i practice swim but not as professionnel, i try to master butterfly, i ask my friend to take me a video, when i watch it i explore that i can't do the wave mouvement " undulation",can you give me advice , if you want i can show you my video,thanks
Your elbows are dropping quite a bit, you got try to get them facing up like your going over a barrell. Also your head needs to go down more, like a weight so your hips go up. Lastly your bending your knees too much creating alot of drag in the water, kick more from hips and hip flexors.
My daughter's 9 she just got back into swimming cause of lock down for covid she is very advance but when she watches me doing the butterfly it is hard to teach her as it is a natural stroke for me as I found it funny when I was a kid so I learned It. Now she is doing the same thing just watching me as I can't teach it. Any pointers if I can send a vid
@@irenaanna I tried to message you Gmail but can't figure it out I am absolutely serious about help my daughter is trying out this week for a swim team her 50 free is four seconds faster than 13 14 yr Olds as she is 9. If wasn't for 3 yes covid here she would be way faster. Need Help with fly or she needs to see. Please her maybe club could do it but I reached out to you first and would be nice to do with her
The engineer side of my personality loves swimming because there is always some thing to work on. My favorite stroke is the over arm side stroke. I do like to be different. Only record was set in 1895 where a swimmer from the UK swam 100 yards in 1:02.5. Freestyle record at that time was 1:01.2. It was dropped from competition prior to the 1900 Olympics in favor of the much slower breast stroke. Breast stroke was more "gentlemanly" because there is less splashing. As far as I am concerned, it is faster than breast stroke, backstroke, and may be able to keep up with the fly. Long axis stroke, and I dropped the scissor kick in favor of the flutter kick, which took 3 seconds off of my 50 yard time in about 3 days. It, unfortunately has been forgotten. I will be doing a video, hopefully this year and will send it to you.
I never had any degrees in engineering, but engineers, "if it ain't broke, take it apart and fix it anyway." I am always tinkering.....Side stroke gets no respect.....
Excellent video. I really needed this step-by-step explanation. Thank you🙏
Glad it was helpful!
I do my arm kicks faster when I don't breath so 2 fast 1 slow, that increases one dolphin kick on three.
감사합니다^^ 굉장히 유연하시네요!
😃Wow, thank you so much for your teaching and videos!❤😃❤
You are so welcome!

You are great ❤
Thank you for the kind words!

👍👍
Your body is so nice!
The fly was a lot easier 50 years ago when I was in my 20s.....
Aww but hey, the fact that you're still watching swimming videos means you want to keep getting better which is awesome!

Thank you for sharing, that's interesting history! I'm an engineer myself, so I can relate to the "always having something to work on" :)

You still have to have a body like that.. Ehh 😌
Speak a little louder, honey
beautiful,
