I liked butterfly so much when I was a kid that it became my stroke in competitions. Many people say it's the most difficult one but I think breastroke is worse lol. Probably because I suck at it, big time, I'm slow af. For those learning how to swim butterfly properly just follow your body needs, if you're doing something wrong you'll notice immediately cause it will slow you down a lot. Remember your butt has to go up almost showing on the surface and your hands should NEVER touch each other. Then you kick and pull strongly. Perfection comes after you get to swim at least 25m without dying.
Very true, I agree. Plus when I'm rested and I have energy after I warm up, I love it when I give it my all in butterfly.. Full throttle feels soooo good xD
if you haven't perfected the dolphin kick alone yet, definitely do that first before butterfly. If you've got a solid dolphin under control, it will all be easier. Think "head, hips, feet" - that's the order that parts of your body should breach the surface when performing butterfly. ("Hips" is the part people usually miss.) If you watch the video with this in mind, you'll see that pattern of head, hips, feet breaking the surface of the water.
I have swimming lessons and the people around me has high expectations in me..I can do the other strokes properly but the butterfly stroke..I just can't do it and I've been stressing everyday thinking about it because when I pull my arms I can only pull it underwater..(if you know what I mean) I'm 12 years old and the people around me are 6-8 well I'll try to do this later and hopefully I can do the butterfly stroke. Thanks for this video.
You also may need to focus on relaxing more during the last 25m. The psychological effect of knowing you've already done a 1/2 lap but still have another 1/2 lap to go can make your whole body tense which wastes a lot of energy and makes you less flexible (and therefore less hydrodynamic). To achieve this, make sure your hands/wrists are relaxed as they enter the water - if they are relaxed it promotes relaxation throughout your whole body. Same goes for having tension in your hands/wrists, unfortunately.
all four of these didn't specify how to capture more water. i did heard doing a key hole shape helps. and i can do butterfly, not entirely correct but able to move forward while doing the key hole shape. Anyone can tell me if im doing this right?
Haha not here cause of Free! but I have watched it :D Or actually the reason I started swimming is Free! so technically yes! I wouldn't be here If I didn't accidentally click on the first Eternal Summer episode on youtube! :D Beautiful coincidence !
i got a school swimming carnival and ive been signed up for butterfly and I have never done this stroke before in my life and I am really bad at swimming oh no
Dhriti Sundar Ghosh /This allows for greater surface area allowing for more propulsion. If you are still starting out you should indeed keep them together though.
lol im only here because we have house swimming so i signed up for butterfly cos im the only one that can do it but im crap so just desperately trying to not lose here lol
+Cory Shuler not only that:catch is too wide,also he glides when hands enter the water,you don't glide in butterfly you start the pull through the water as soon as hands enter it,his hands enter properly but than he straightens them out and glides,gliding is not allowed,butterfly is very fast stroke,it was made to counter freestyle in speed so no gliding,you only glide last stroke in the lap or when you need to push off the wall for another lap.chin only lifts when you intake air,every second or even third stroke,otherwise body is in streamline position similar to breast stroke in glide phase.you can breathe by lifting or turning your head sideways similar to freestyle breathing.
at the start you say "there is no right or wrong'' meanwhile you mention doing it 'right' four times afterwards. Is that 'right' in your opinion, because you are clearly mental.

lol yes breaststroke is very difficult n in butterfly arm work is very tough
August Spiro breast stroke is easy practice makes perfect
Desirée Spiro it is hard to bring my arms up in butterfly I'm only 10
Desirée Spiro my biggest struggle is free style it's so hard
He really likes getting out of the pool.
OH MY GOSH im NEVER gonna get that right
Have you gotten it yet?

Nope and I never ever will
Sim going to do great on my swim meet tomorrow

I learned from this technique thank you
The push was soo perfect 😍
Very nice thank you !
thank-you for teaching me.
When I do a 50m butterfly swim, I finish the first 25m without feeling like I am going to die but after that I want to go to hell.
So true
2 lengths of my pool, last week we had to do 13.
DarkPhantom Gaming indeed

Very helpful...Thanks!😊
This is helpful I have my house swimming competition today and they put me on the list for butterfly I don’t even know how to do it lmao
all four of these didn't specify how to capture more water. i did heard doing a key hole shape helps. and i can do butterfly, not entirely correct but able to move forward while doing the key hole shape. Anyone can tell me if im doing this right?
thanks....i have no problem with the other three styles,but, butterfly has always given me trouble in my form...that is
+Everest Young timing is a lie butterfly needs to be performed with a soft kick above the water and a hard one under it
Its very good video
Free! Anyone?
Haha not here cause of Free! but I have watched it :D
Or actually the reason I started swimming is Free! so technically yes! I wouldn't be here If I didn't accidentally click on the first Eternal Summer episode on youtube! :D Beautiful coincidence !
Sarah alKhudari 三橋美智也
I think of Free! everytime I put on my tight swimming shorts
Sarah alKhudari yeppp trying to learn how to do this better it's hard af
Sarah alKhudari Faze apex's free? FRREEEEEEE

Anto Essayan any update?
.... update?
Nice!
:)
ดีมากๆๆๆๆๆ
More exhausting that the other swimtypes, but I would argue that breaststroke is the toughest to master.
i got a school swimming carnival and ive been signed up for butterfly and I have never done this stroke before in my life and I am really bad at swimming oh no
+qwerjhgfdsa
how can you get signed for sport you don't know?
they signed up the good swimmers first then selected anybody they could to fill in the spaces
qwerjhgfdsa
you got any time to prepare at least or the meeting started already?I know here in Sydney Australia schools now compete.
its gonna be their fault that they signed you up lol. but at least do your best.
how did you go on the swimming carnival?
hey his legs are not joined together and this can lesser your acceleration and i am competitive swimmer of only 12
Dhriti Sundar Ghosh /This allows for greater surface area allowing for more propulsion. If you are still starting out you should indeed keep them together though.
I don’t think they should be completely together but it’s better than being to wide apart
lol im only here because we have house swimming so i signed up for butterfly cos im the only one that can do it but im crap so just desperately trying to not lose here lol
☺☺☺☺☺😊☺☺☺☺☺☺
put on subtitles on 2:17 min. LOL
Glitter The Kitty Ba ?
??
But why does this guy come out of the water every 20 seconds?
terrible catch - elbows are down. the chin should lift with the chest drop.
+Cory Shuler
not only that:catch is too wide,also he glides when hands enter the water,you don't glide in butterfly you start the pull through the water as soon as hands enter it,his hands enter properly but than he straightens them out and glides,gliding is not allowed,butterfly is very fast stroke,it was made to counter freestyle in speed so no gliding,you only glide last stroke in the lap or when you need to push off the wall for another lap.chin only lifts when you intake air,every second or even third stroke,otherwise body is in streamline position similar to breast stroke in glide phase.you can breathe by lifting or turning your head sideways similar to freestyle breathing.
+BoxyTheSpaceDog if you know so much then why do you watch this video. not to be rude
I did not say you were wrong, I said you must be more open to peoples opinions.
at the start you say "there is no right or wrong'' meanwhile you mention doing it 'right' four times afterwards. Is that 'right' in your opinion, because you are clearly mental.
Seriously, I don't care, and I'm just saying that to piss you off, if I really cared I would watch your precious video.
and me got swimming school
fly kick starts from the chest and not from the hips
