- Hey guys,
After how successful my other Butterfly videos were, I wanted to create another one in a lot more detail to really help you with the stroke and overall technique.
Remember in butterfly that speed and momentum will make it easier...slow butterfly is very hard...even for me hahah!
Please let me know your feedback in the comments below so I can keep improving these videos for you :)
Make sure you also check out my swimming training 8-week guides to fast-track your training: stephanierice....
Much love,
Steph

접영 폼이 겁나 이쁘다👍
Thank you ☺️
Butterfly is the most exhausting of all strokes. It is also the one people avoid the most. As technique, there is a ongoing dicussian if butterfly or breaststroke is the most difficult one. Will be inetersting to hear Stephanie's opinion on the matter.
Personally I believe breast to be the most exhausting stroke
Agreed...for me butterfly is the most exhausting, but this is my fave stroke
For me butterfly is more exhausting, but breaststroke is more technically demanding.
Without question butterfly is the hardest, breaststroke is child’s play compared to the butterfly stroke.
@@xavierdisante2071 makes me believe you can’t swim
The best butterfly lecture I ever seen. Thanks for your video!👍
Ohh that means so much to me…thank you.
I am a middle school swimmer and this helps me with the idea of butterfly. I normally get a 38 second and hopefully can take some tips from this video to help me improve my time. Thank you for putting this out here for everyone to see ❤❤❤🏊♀️🏊♀️
Excellent, thanks for making this video.
You’re welcome p
本当にいつみても、うっとりしてしまいます🎵
ダイナミックで素晴らしい！
無駄のない美しいストローク最高😃⤴️⤴️
I appreciate you posting this. It’s the one stroke I can’t do. Thank you 🙏🏼 Stephanie.
You are so welcome!! I love being able to help from afar and make swimming easier for you
Thank you
You try and try . Although it is difficult , after some years , We can master it.
Muy espectacular y precioso ejercicio y sin poner ningún fallo
Goddess
After watching the video the first time with sound, the second time I turned it off and slowed down the playback speed to half, and just watched your technique. I think I learn the most this way. Thanks for the video!
Great video. One detail that I missed was precise timing of down kicks, although seems clear enough from the videos - on arm entry and exit. As a kid I was never taught b'fly, and before days of YTube and underwater videos, as crazy as it now seems, it looked to me like only 1 kick per cycle. Only when I realized it was 2 was I able to make any progress in trying to learn the stroke.
It's very useful for me. Like your lessons. Thank you, Stephanie.😊❤️
🙌🏼☺️
Steph, I’m confused. You talk about how important it is to enter directly in front of your shoulders, but then your hands are nearly touching each other on entry and then have to sweep out before pressing down which seems like wasted energy since that’s effort being spent not directing water behind you.
Well butterfly is my love , people may avoid it but trust it once you practice like anything and you like pretty much master it. It's one of the most enjoyable strokes
Thanks for the video! It's extremely helpful and condensed. It's amazing to see what the ideal technique looks like in detail from a professional. I will need to watch it many times, though, while I keep practising and gradually adapting it to my own body.
너무 아름답네요.
아주 훌륭한 영상, 항상 감사합니다. 보도 또 보고 이미지 트레이닝 합니다. ^^
once the basics (like the timing or going forward at the chest press) have been mastered, these pieces of advice will help improve the personal best, even without the need to hire a coach, many thanks👌
Absolutely!! These tips should definitely make you faster :) and swim with more ease so you can go for longer
I knew that this lesson was coming, and It meets all my expectations, amazing video! Thank you ❤️
Ohh yay I’m so glad to hear it!!! Any feedback on what’s working or what you want more help with is definitely welcomed 🙌🏼
@@stephanierice-swimmingPerhaps it can help other swimmers as well, so I take advantage of your extraordinary kindness and generosity. Lately I've been filming my butterfly swimming to check my form and I've noticed a few issues: When I breathe my head and shoulders are too far out of the water. Now I'm trying to lift my head as little as possible. I have also noticed that in the beginning of the catch phase I struggle to keep my arms straight and relaxed, they sink quickly and my recovery looks quite short and awkward. This seems hard to fix, Perhaps I lack some shoulder mobility. Another problem is that I get tired quickly: after swimming 100 meters I'm almost done. Thank you! 🙌🏻
Thanks so much, i've been watched this video for hundred times, this my favourite butterfly video. After watching this for 4 months, now i can own my butterfly, it feels so happy, so proud ! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Rice ❤
아.. 정말 이렇게 수영하고싶다... 진짜 최고입니다
Hi Stephanie...I have a very slow arm tempo when I swim butterfly. Should I allow my body to glide when I land out infront or should I try to pull back immediately to increase my arm tempo?
Really interesting video with usefull tips, thanx
You’re welcome
I self learned and acquired all the wrong techniques and really enlighted to watch this video - Thank you.
I was struggling to master my butterfly stroke for years and watching this video helps me to improve my butterfly stroke tremendously. Thanks so much for sharing the technique, love this video and subscribed 💐💖
That’s wonderful!! Well done. I’m so glad it was helpful 🫶🏽
Butterfly gives me trouble on multiple levels:
- i gas out after 25m
- pain in the lower back
Any advice?
Thanks for sharing, Stephanie Rice.
Legendary and quick.
It's awesome
Wow! I've been working hard to master this stroke and listening to you was like a punch to the face! I can't wait to try and incorporate your advice. You explanation was amazing!
Hahaha I stopped halfway through your video to make that comment and then watched the 2nd half! Stephanie, you are a Goddess for teaching me this! Thank you!
@@nathanhatton000 hahaha im glad they are helpful. Theres so much to take it, so bits definitely helpful to watch it a few times
1 stroke to rule them all. I like doing a breast stroke with dolphin kick variation when i get gassed from butterfly. Do i have perfect technique... no... Do i run fast times... no BUT what i do get is one hell of a work out. The other strokes feel incomplete to me.
Wow... Move like you ignore the physics. Thanks for your sharing!
Actually, the butterfly dolphin kick is the most wrongly practised part of the exercise stroke.
True, the dolphin whole body action is probably the one most efficient way of moving through water, but it does not translate exactly into the kicking component of the butterfly stroke. For one thing, the two kicks per stroke are not equal. One is stronger than the other. Secondly, the more powerful kick, which corresponds with the second half of the propulsion part of the arm stroke, is in line with the dolphins body action. The second kick, which comes right after, is weaker and is not integral to a whole body dolphin action.
The second weaker kick seems to serve several purposes: help in keeping balance and provide continuity in the stroke without which would cause a stutter in the stroke cycle.
In fact, if one were to really look closer at the whole stroke, one would notice that the butterfly stroke is a combination of body dolphin with two leg kicks, the second being a reaction to the first.
수영 금메달리스트는 많지만 이렇게 우아하고 아름답게 수영하는 선수는 본적이 없습니다. 수영장에 가기 전, 항상 스테파니 라이스 선수의 영상을 보며 이미지트레이닝을 합니다. 멋진 영상 감사합니다.
Its soooooo good to look at😍
Excellent. 👍Do you think it's possible to learn any stroke perfectly without a coach standing poolside?
I think you can if you have a way of seeing yourself so you can understand what’s working and not working. That’s why a coach is so great, because they can see what you can’t. You could always try videoing yourself?
This is an excellent video. I think for a beginner it is good to persevere as this is a difficult stroke. I think it is good that the catch needs as much power and aggression to help with the arm recovery. I think having your hand entry slightly outside the shoulders helps with the momentum. I find having my hands an inch below the water surface difficult to do the catch compared to at the surface but I struggle to press the chest down if my hands are at the surface. I will try and copy what Stephanie does! I also struggle to do more than one length of this stroke but will keep persevering! I also think drinking 10 cans of red bull is good before the Butterfly as you need the energy!! I am also loving the Aussie accent!! 🇦🇺
HI Stephanie. Whats the best drill to time the pull with the second kick? Thank you.
Fantastic summary of key elements. If you saw no other video this would be enough to become proficient. Much appreciated.
日本語で、お願いします。
Your Butterfly stroke is perfect and Beautiful like you 👍🏻
Thank you 🫶🏽
Awesome 😎
Vraiment c'est très joli
游得真好！讚👍
You also want to enter slightly wider. There are some strokes where your hands basically hit each other
Stephanie seems to carry out the narrow hand entry well but I have seen on other Butterfly demonstrations to have hand entry shoulder width apart or slightly outside the shoulders in an 11 and 1 position as this helps increase stroke rate and reduce fatigue as narrow hand entry wastes energy and causes fatigue
How was this video shot??? Incredible cinematography 🤌🏿
Thanks so much. Excellent video and explanation. This is THE HARDEST stroke there is in my opinion. You do it beautifully.
I'm learning to swim at 68. It's quite a challenge, but I'm really enjoying it. These videos are helping so much. 😊
Your videos are great and you clearly explain what the crucial points are to look at. You have been an exceptional swimmer, and there is so much we can learn from your experience.
Thank you. I really enjoy sharing all the tips because they help so much
in your training, do you also not breath every 2nd stroke like in the video? in training i breath every stroke, so my form is ugly. but in sprint, i breath every 6 stroke, so my fly is beautiful.
Great example~! Thanks for the video, I'll watch this video before I go swimming! :)
Unfortunately you just said that mis-timing in the breathing will affect the whole swim but except from the question of whether to breathe on each stroke or every two strokes it wasn't explained how to GENERALLY time the breathing.
I would like to know when to lift the head out of the water and to re-enter because I seriously struggle with the breathing. I can swim four or five strokes with my head under water but when it comes to the timing of the breathing, I totally mess it up ;-)))
Maybe you can explain it in a further video? Thank you.
i love your vioes
Holy crap, that looks so smooth. That's perfection achieved with 1000's of hours exercise.
I don't understand English but I watch this video and understand meny things about butterfly... Slow motion video mostly help to know how to move body . Thanks 🙏
Thank you for the clear explanation and the drills. I really like to focus on drills first before I try the real thing. To be honest I am self-taught butterfly swimmer, since my coach doesn't give me a lot of drills to practice any aspects of the butterfly stroke, so everything I do and know is because of TH-cam clips, but I will definitely try these. Thank you so much !
Butterfly wings are so beautiful. What brand is it?? your swimsuit???😅
I love butterfly buy I think it can harm the shoulders if over done because the lack of rotation necessitates major internal rotation.
I also thought that we are supposed to have a little gap between the fingers? See Aqua Knuckles.
hii..why im cannot doing 200m butterfly..
Hi Stéphanie,txs for posting this vidéo, i try to learn this stroke , but i have a problem concerning kicks
just wondering if it is a good way to improve my technique if I swim butterfly very slowly? I can't focus what I am doing while swimming fast so I decided to make it reaaaly slow to focus on some ascpects of my technique but actually I am not sure if i am doing it right. What do you think?
Thank you found this really helpful.. you seem to flow, do it so very well. So much power, I seem to ware out to quick, I’m struggling with regulating I think. As in pace, just try on to pick up wear I left off a few years ago. 🍀🙏🍀 although my technique could probably do with Improving, but as the old man “Practice makes perfect”
Master demonstration. Would u plx tell me when is the right time to get the breath? When I am breathing in , is that the moment I kick?( that means I kick to get the breath?) or I should get the breath while my arms pulling underneath my face? Or I should get the breath while my arms finished the pulling and before recovering? I have tried for a whole year and the progress of butterfly stroke is really slow. It just doesnt feel right and smooth.
Really excellent body movement a very nice trainer
It’s only a good butterfly that determines a good swimmer.
This was my most difficult to do. I loved it but really loved breast stroke. Great tutorial!
Great Butterfly video thank you Stephanie, really has helped me !
그냥 교본이네요. 수영 강사들이 꼭 봐야 할 교본이예요.
thx rice~~!
I'm not happy with the kick timing shown here, also the arms could be a little further apart at entry.
Great video and great technique, however I was expecting more detail about timing the breath so that it is perfect.
🙋🙅🇲🇽👌
Руки Стефани в момент начала проноса, похожи на крылья самолёта❤❤❤
do you have any tip and tricks to train your legs just break the surface during the fly. if you have please teach me.
Thank you. Very good tips. Just one question: is this a human or a mermaid?
Does Michael phelps have a yt channel?
What kick board is this one?thsnks
It’s one I got years ago. The brand is turbo
Do a swimsuit, bikini or lingerie try on
I L❤ve your videos that have helped me SO much!!!!!
but butterfly or delphine on back ☝🏼
I breath every 3 to 4 strokes it makes me go way faster without any lost of momentum once I come up to take my breath.
Great explanation!!
Thanks for the video I have learnt a lot from this!!❤❤❤
Very comprehensive explanation! Thank you!
Thank you. So glad it’s helpful
The more i show you butterfly stroke, the more it is so difficult to follow your stroke. Butterfly stroke is so hard to me in one of the others.
You are amazing swimmer Stephanie Rice
T.Y. MAAM!
Looking this stroke, I thought the hands shouldn’t be so close together at entry. And the legs on the second kick should kick lower? Ughh.
This is the technique that works for most athletes as you pull the maximum distance with every stroke. If the arms are wide on entry you miss those extra cms each stroke which make a big difference over a lap
@@stephanierice-swimming thanks that what I thought, but recently everyone is telling me to do the opposite - keep them wider. So many different approaches to swimming.
They air is the key.
The mind and the oxígen are the key
NICE MOVED
Добро утро stepha😊
プロレスラーだな
I want to swim that too.
Hi stepha
Thank for all your video
I am in distress underwater, is this normal?
For your information, I quit smoking only two months ago.
I think its normal.
As someone who was mever mich of a swimmer, it took me 8 momths to become comfortable in the water.
I recommend focusing on freestyle/crawl, until you dont feel distressed. Avoid caffein on swim days too.
Also try running a bit, this will help ypu work through these feelings of drowning.
Flower i receive want Dating ok.🎉
How do you start with legs on butter? I
my waist is not moving means wave like you teach me
I think everything is perfect (head and hip positions, elbows, ankles, etc.). Before swim (not only butterfly but also all other strokes), I always watch your videos and do image training. Thank you! 😀

I got it perfect! Thank you!
