Wow. You really dissect the stroke so well. It makes me hunger for the water. Great instruction like this will help me swim better and easier butterfly. It helped, and for me, more time in the water helped me better understand the stroke. Each viewing of the video brings more insight.
thanks so much for the break down of all the components! I am a Masters swimmer and found out that I forgot the second kick although I am ranked highly for 25, this video really helps with drills etc to work on...not having a coach nearby hinders learning the techniques..and your videos really help. One can't stop learning every day!
This was extremely helpful for my 200 IM because I didn't become exhausted after the first 50. I usually would've gotten so tired, but your triangle technique helped me a ton!
I'll get there, currently doing maximum two laps a day monitoring if and how it could injure shoulders. Certainly the most demanding stroke, it can take even 10 laps of other strokes to get tired as doing a butterfly, but if you don't have much time one could simply focus on it to get the daily workout.
Chloe, You are honestly the best swimmer on TH-cam and you give the best tips!🏆 I needed something terrific like this since I have a competition coming up really soon! I really needed this information!😊 You inspire me so much! I hope this helps me! Thank you!😁👍
Thanks so much, the remark about the 'diamond' improved my attempt at 'butterflying' a lot (currently teaching myself front and butterfly crawl, started that last year).
chloe sutton, what can i say. you have no idea how much i am benefiting from your videos. i really like the way you scrutinize the strokes. you are the best, thanks a lot
Hi Chloe, I watched your video and tried out your drills today. After just one session I find my fly timing improved tremendously - something which I've been grappling with. I'll continue to work on the drills. In my humble opinion, these are what set you videos apart. (1) Simplicity and clarity. In very few words you drive across the most important aspects for each components of the stroke making it easy to understand for lay folks like myself. You go into enough details for serious amateur but not over peppering it with incomprehensible details. As an example, you explained the breathed timing so succinctly that I asked myself why i didn't understand it earlier. In fact, most other videos just speaks about the kick timing and forgets the breath timing altogether. (2) You organise the video in a very meaningful manner building the stroke from the back. In addition, you were properly focused during each section. Back to breath timing, I thought it was amazing how you focused only on the breath timing first, choosing to cover breathing with a low chin during the body position section. (3) Each of your key points are "taught" with a prescriptive drill. All of the drills are very useful. Many of the drills are not new, but you made them purposeful. I noticed that you have done such a video for every stroke except Freestyle - though you've made various videos covering various aspects of the stroke. Could you please make one complete video on Freestyle too? I am sure myself, along with many others, will benefit greatly from it. Finally, I do hope you get many students and enrollments. :) Once again, thank you very much for all your superb videos.
Fantastic video, best I've seen. One question: during drills I notice your feet come to the surface on almost every stroke. However, in full-swim they generally stay a few inches under the surface. Should your feet come to the surface?
Im really happy i found this video, yester day before my 500 free, my coach was talking about you, i love fly i just want to get faster and i think this helped so thank you, i have head problems, i never seem to get it to stay straight in free, but i went from a 8 minute 500 to a 6 minute 500,
Chloe, would you be so kind as to say more about the chest press and how it makes undulation? Does it start the undulation or end it, or both? Does it occur at the end of the arm press, or just before the arms enter the water or both? Thank you in advance. Great tutorial but it all goes by so fast, just like you do!
Thank you Chloe for this amazingly great tutorial! The best one on youtube for sure! I have a question: I tend to move my hands in an upward motion after entering the water, gliding a little before the catch phase. This comes naturally to me as a consequence of my body ondulation. But the correct technique requires to catch the water as soon as the hands enter the water without the gliding phase, right? What am I doing wrong? Any tips to correct my form? When I try it my overall timing/coordination feels messed up. Thanks!
It was a great experience to watch for the first time, congratulations on this enlightening video! I think I'll have to watch many more times to correct my mistakes and have a better technique, but you made it easier for sure!!!
Your videos are really helpful. Thanks a lot! One arm dolphin kicks make it easy to practice timing. Practicing butterfly seems to help freestyle, too. I am a bit over middle aged and I feel I can't improve freestyle as quick as I want. But now I am motivated.
Thank you for the advice especially on the pull drills! I do wonder if physiological characteristics affect the difficulty. For instance, the length ratio of trunk to limbs.
Lol no one has to own a pool. You can swim at your local swimming pool. This is not a swimming pool. This is a swimming treadmill and I’m pretty sure you’re not even a swimmer. You can’t learn butterfly without even knowing how to swim freestyle and you’re gonna drown in a 4 foot pool. Plus, you can’t afford this pool. This pool costs approximately 1 million dollars.
Yoooo I’ve been doing these drills off and on for about a month. It Really helped developed my butterfly stroke! I was surprised how graceful my stroke has become. Breathing is still tough :( I love one arm drills in general :3
Hi Chloe, thank you for the great video and an awesome channel! I am a former high school/club swimmer looking to get into Masters after college. I have a question about fixing a specific problem with my butterfly: are there any drills for maintaining a consistent second kick during the power diamond on strokes where you are breathing? I notice that on strokes where I am not breathing, that second kick is a lot stronger, whereas when I take a breath that kick is much shallower (or I might be undulating less). I try to compensate for this by not breathing much, but this is a problem in longer races like the 200, and I notice that many world-class butterfliers breathe nearly every stroke to maximize the momentum from the head lunging back in the water. Thank you and keep up the great work!!
Samantha Martinez hi there! I had a swimmer today with this exact issue. I had her go through the kicking drills in this video trying to feel the consistent rhythm of her kick like a metronome. Then we did no kick fly breathing every other to feel the importance of each kick. At the end, I told her to focus on 2 powerful kicks each stroke where one stroke flows into the next. By the end, she said it was hard, but she would work on building endurance. It will probably be uncomfortable at first, but everything is a cinch when you work at it inch by inch. :) good luck!
Great and Awesome tutorial, will try again tomorrow, still I can't pass my hand off the water, I feel though the kicks may be working but my pull is faulty😂😂
Great butterfly swimming tips and drills, help me to improve and enjoy my swimming. Thank you for sharing.. Your swimming is very smooth and you are also very pretty :)
I have always wanted to use this stroke in my workouts but havent cuz I would look incredibly bad at it, but after this tutorial I cant wait to try it. Great instructions
Lorenzo Valdez and how will you swim better if you dont. Fuck shame, as soon as you practice you will get better and you wont be concerned about looking bad anymore
Really helpful progressions with expanations of why drills are done. i always share your teaching vlogs with my daughter who is a keen age swimmer. What is the pool called that you are using to demo the drills and stroke?
Very good video. My main issue at this point is a short glide on the arm entry, similar to the breaststroke glide. I would be interested in drills specifically designed to reduce the glide.
Thanks a million Chloe. Your videos are fantastic, both my 23 year old daughter and I have managed to significantly improve significantly. As you can well imagine, in India we do not have swimmers who swim like you or Phelps!
This is a fantastic video: very well presented and easy to follow. I've never been quite able to get the timing right. I'm going to try to follow this. Thanks, Chloe!
Wow you make this look so easy. I'm starting swimming lessons later this year and I hope I can develop these skills some day. Your swimming skills are amazing!
WOW!!!! THANK YOU, FOR THIS GREAT BREAK-DOWN, AND DEMO OF THE KEY COMPONENT SKILLS, AND DRILLS, TO LEARN THIS POWERFUL STROKE!! AWESOME!!! [IMHO: ...YOU HAVE A GREAT STYLE, AND,.. A GREAT SMILE!!... :D
Still awesome at progressions! Great swimmer, great teacher. Does it take getting used to the endless pool type setup? Does it feel the same when you are swimming?
Wt is the exactly timing for breathe? When the fingers point down while pulling? When we are accelerating with arms , should we fix the upper arms n elbows all the time?thx
I have a meet tomorrow. I have been trying to go to HS state this year, and there were. Fee parts of this stroke I had never heard of. I am anxious to try the power diamond part of the stroke tom. I have never heard about that section of the pull until now.
Well at last I came across the most detailed and step by step video how to do the butterfly. and all the other tutorials are damn good too. keep it up (Y)
Hello miss chloe, I really love swimming..and im desperate to learn butterfly.. i'm 36 years old.. fit... any chances i can master that stroke.. any suggestion which googles is the best.. thank you and more power
The best tutorial I’ve ever seen on TH-cam!
Wow! Thank you!
Yes, very good and helps me a lot.
Chloe Sutton wow, thank YOU! I thought i knew ho to butterfly, now i can swim for hundreds of meters easily :D
I just literally said that it loud before scrolling down to comments
me too
Wow. You really dissect the stroke so well. It makes me hunger for the water. Great instruction like this will help me swim better and easier butterfly.
It helped, and for me, more time in the water helped me better understand the stroke. Each viewing of the video brings more insight.
Yes Good dissection of stroke , Seems like every point is important to follow for a smooth and injury free flow
Cant stand rhe Echo Sorry
Chloe’s instruction tutorial is the best. It really helps me to understand the techniques. I wish she could post more videos
best swimming video on TH-cam by best swimmer
Yes. No doubt. She is great! Sometimes i cant believe these quality videos r free...
thanks so much for the break down of all the components! I am a Masters swimmer and found out that I forgot the second kick although I am ranked highly for 25, this video really helps with drills etc to work on...not having a coach nearby hinders learning the techniques..and your videos really help. One can't stop learning every day!
Great video even for advanced swimmers. I always watch this video before going butterfly swimming!
This was extremely helpful for my 200 IM because I didn't become exhausted after the first 50. I usually would've gotten so tired, but your triangle technique helped me a ton!
This is the best video i've seen so far on butterfly strokes.,thank u very much.
4:33 so fluid, so fish like movement... like dancing
I'll get there, currently doing maximum two laps a day monitoring if and how it could injure shoulders. Certainly the most demanding stroke, it can take even 10 laps of other strokes to get tired as doing a butterfly, but if you don't have much time one could simply focus on it to get the daily workout.
I and a youtuber swim learner. Your video is the best ever. At 72, I will try to learn this during the covid 19 pandemic! Thanks Chloe!!
Glad to hear it! Thank you!!
Chloe,
You are honestly the best swimmer on TH-cam and you give the best tips!🏆
I needed something terrific like this since I have a competition coming up really soon!
I really needed this information!😊
You inspire me so much!
I hope this helps me!
Thank you!😁👍
I’m imagining lot of us doing this at home right now in the bed 🛏 and listening to Michael Jackson’s - Smooth Criminal
Nick Loresh one sec bro i’m looking for the person that asked

NLE Lzrs I bet ur fun at parties 🙄

Thanks so much, the remark about the 'diamond' improved my attempt at 'butterflying' a lot (currently teaching myself front and butterfly crawl, started that last year).

Best video I've seen to learn the butterfly on TH-cam - simple & clear
chloe sutton, what can i say. you have no idea how much i am benefiting from your videos. i really like the way you scrutinize the strokes. you are the best, thanks a lot
great swimming tips, hope to put into practice the lessons.
Have fun!
Nataka kujua kama ng'ethe ulijua
The best instructional tutorial I have seen on TH-cam.
Chloe, you are a prodigy. I can't help envying your unattainable skills. Thanks a lot for presenting a valuable treasure of swimming lessons.
Thank you for watching!
These videos give me the viewing angles that I always wish they'd stick with longer in competition videos. Thanks!

Daniel Nemiroff when you take a breath, body angles a bit and feet sink. When doing drills head down, you're horizontal and legs don't come out.

Best instructional video for butterfly ever.
Thank you so much for this!

honestly, that's the best fly video i've ever seen, breaking breaking it down by segments and explaining the crucial drills.
Thank you Chloe for this amazingly great tutorial! The best one on youtube for sure! I have a question: I tend to move my hands in an upward motion after entering the water, gliding a little before the catch phase. This comes naturally to me as a consequence of my body ondulation.

It was a great experience to watch for the first time, congratulations on this enlightening video! I think I'll have to watch many more times to correct my mistakes and have a better technique, but you made it easier for sure!!!
Wow. This is a great tutorial! I think now I understand why I have some shoulder injuries after doing butterfly. Thanks Chloe!
I like the slow motion parts of the video. It's helpful to see the stroke path
I can now swim my butterfly. Thank you for sharing!
I’m swimming at the Y right now because COViD means no team practices and I asked my coach for tips and he sent me this video.....
Your videos are really helpful. Thanks a lot! One arm dolphin kicks make it easy to practice timing. Practicing butterfly seems to help freestyle, too. I am a bit over middle aged and I feel I can't improve freestyle as quick as I want. But now I am motivated.
Thank you so much, i watch all your videos, they have really helped me swim more smoothly
Stunningly beautiful Olympic swimmer with perfect form teaching me how to swim! Thanks internet.
General Gaige Biggs I don't speak muslim oh my bad Biggs Amish Biggie smalls?lmao
crystal clear explanation and practical skills, thanks indeed.
Thank you for the advice especially on the pull drills! I do wonder if physiological characteristics affect the difficulty. For instance, the length ratio of trunk to limbs.
Great improvement for me following your “chest press” and “skipping stone” ideas.
😭 I wish I had a pool
Lol no one has to own a pool. You can swim at your local swimming pool. This is not a swimming pool. This is a swimming treadmill and I’m pretty sure you’re not even a swimmer.

I have a meet tomorrow with 50 yard fly and 100 yard IM. Just doing some last minute research and studying.
Omggg sameeee
SAMEEEE

Excellent explanation and demonstration. So glad I found your channel, you are truly one of the best swimming coaches!

Yoooo I’ve been doing these drills off and on for about a month. It Really helped developed my butterfly stroke! I was surprised how graceful my stroke has become. Breathing is still tough :( I love one arm drills in general :3

Very useful. Many thanks and best compliments from India.
This is the best video. Thank you!
Still awesome at progressions! Great swimmer, great teacher. Does it take getting used to the endless pool type setup? Does it feel the same when you are swimming?
my head is waving with her motion.............amazing
Wt is the exactly timing for breathe? When the fingers point down while pulling? When we are accelerating with arms , should we fix the upper arms n elbows all the time?thx
i love watching swimming videos like if i actually knew how to swim well 💀
I’m to stif to do butterfly kick :(
Thank you Chloe for another great video! Could you please publish one for backstroke?
That's next on my list!
I agree. Chloe is a great swimmer and goes into great detail of every stroke she teaches.
I do appreciate your sharing indeed PERFECT drills for Butterfly. Especially, I do love NGB drill :) Thank you!
