When u swim butterfly in public pool every body looks at you and say from inside..wow I wish I could swim like tht. I love this style but its the most energy consuming one
Many years back, I started swimming because I loved this butterfly stroke. Many years later, I can fly and I make sure I fly at least 50m per session. I swim about 2-3 times weekly. Love it.
One of my classmates at the university went to the swimming pool with me for the first time in his life. He didn't know swimming. It took him first half an hour to figure out how to float from drowning. After that, at the 2nd half of the one hour session, he butterfly-ed very well. We can't compare with some genius. We can only be jealous of them.
I've tried this swimming style firstly today and it was not easy but enjoying. Yes it was only for the short distances, but the feeling of muscles is incredible. Will stick with it and polish my technique.
TORTURE! We all have weaknesses - fly and backstroke were mine. I respect anyone who swims this well (and anyone who doesn't swim it well but still chooses to). What a great time I had as a swimmer. What a wonderful skill. I always felt amazing, almost high, after swim practice - the mental clarity from the endorphins and squeaky clean feeling from, essentially, swimming in diluted bleach for 2-hours lol!
The kicking was hard imo, Iv’e been doing the stroke for a while and realized that all u have to do is bob ur head for the kicks. Still have to get my timing down tho, thats super hard asf.
1. Always maintain horizontal position. 2. Try not to dive too deep. Stay on surface 3. The movement you do with your hands is dragging yourself ahead through the water. Concentrate on this movement. 4. Stick feet together. Dolphin kick is a must. With a time you will dolphine kick intuitively. 5. When you get your face up you slow down, so inhale on every 2-nd or 3-d stroke. In this video the swimmer breathes on every stroke. That's exhausting.
Same!!!!!!😩☹️. I’ve been doing this stroke simultaneously for years and I wanted to check if I was doing it right and of course I wasn’t☹️😞. BUT I was checking so I can hopefully make the swim team, and I’m determined😠😃
Oh my god anyone who goes to swim at public pools will understand this comment to their very core. Since I’m so bad at butterfly I just get out my leg and arm flippers and do a super fast freestyle 😂😂
TY for the short and to the point instructions! i tried this strok for the firs time in my life today and was glad i was the only one at the pool. i felt like an idiot and my technique was pretty bad, but the times i managed to get into a rythm i was DARTING across my small (20m or so) pool. and what a workout! i'll be practicing this for the forseeable future
I think breaststroke is the most difficult. I still remember I took a long time to master butterfly. The most difficult part is the timing and how smooth is the undulation movement. Undulation movement starts from the head to the bottom (not just dolphin kick). The rhythm of the undulation movement really takes time to do it right. In breaststroke, there are similarities with butterfly, once the hand is finished in breaststroke, the hip actually slightly floats. The hips floats up also in butterfly. Breaststroke hands are very difficult to do it right, it might be more exhausting to swim than butterfly. One of the drill I used in breaststroke is actually breaststroke hands and butterfly legs
I did butterflu for.the first time today I think when I learn it will be one of mu favorites. Started breaststroke a few weeks ago I hate it, im soo slow at it
I’ve heard breast and butterfly are the 2 biggest “natural talent” or “you’re either good or you’re not” strokes Which I don’t believe but it somewhat exists
No...its both in tandem snapping the feet and skipping the surface of the water with your thhmbs and then hourglass and then skipping thumbs on the outer side of your thighs with a slight s curve of the entire body...
fun? Every time I have to do 200m of this thing I fuck up my whole other swimming schedule for the day. Especially if there is hardly any break between the 25m stops
I found this video great thank you. I took up swimming 6 months ago after a 25 year hiatus. I decided to give butterfly a go last week as I was feeling strong in my freestyle, and had been adding in some 'dry land' exercises in preparation to try it. I AM LOVING IT ! An underrated stroke in my view and so satisfying !! I'm surprised how quickly I've come to enjoy it, built up strength and improved my technique with practice and perseverance. Thoroughly recommend the challenge !!! Thanks for the great videos.
I learned all the swimming techniques when i was 5 years old.. Including butterfly, first my mother didnt believe my teacher 😂 But then she saw me swimming anddd im now 11 i forgot how to swim . . . I want my swimming skills back because my family are swimmers! Good luck! ^^
I was introduced to water , the ocea and rivers at a young age iv always loved swimming soo much. I have thr potential to start working as an instructor soon. Your videos are accurate, safe and very informative. Ty for posting all of them ♡
@@destroy2enjoy Actually no butttt I was hired into a different job for much better pay. so not a band ending. I'm still happy I learned from this episode.
I learned this stroke by looking at a butterfly that landed on the surface of the water...so I recorded it played in slow mo and hey best teacher ever..nature eh
If you guys could create a video focused more on timing of the kick rather than the mechanics, that would be awesome. Timing (when to use the kick) is what everyone gets stuck on learning and it’s important to maintain momentum. Also the kick is used to help drive the body forward not necessarily to get the body out of the water. The arms naturally carry the upper body more than the legs do. The kick drives the body forward as we pull out of the water and the second kick drives the body forward as our arms re-enter the water.
It burns 10 times more than any other stroke. Needs lots of power to push the water and keep the alignment. Great video, thanks a lot for the hints, specifically "the chin should stay in the water".
Yup, part of my daily 3km at the moment but feeling I was doing something wrong as getting some lower back pains, will report back on how this videos guidance helps on that. Thank you
Are your abs suppose to be sore?! I practiced this for 1hr along with egg beater and my body was SORE LOL! I just learned to swim at 44yrs old and I’m so proud of myself. I just learned elementary back stroke which I love. Believe it or not I watched a 1hr video 4 times and practice my breathing under water in the tub. It took me 5hrs in the pool but I FINALLY learned to float on my back and stomach, freestyle, swim on my stomach and back with just my legs, and backstroke. Now I’m learning to breathe with freestyle, breaststroke, tread water and butterfly. Breaststroke is HARD especially if your not in shape like me LOL. I’m determined to learn it though and get over my fear of the deep end LOL. I think if I learn to tread water I’ll feel more confident. I’m 5’6 but being in 6ft deep water doesn’t bother me it’s 7 or more because I’ll have a long way to go if I run out of breathe! Yes I know I can just float if I get scared it’s just the thought I guess. I’ve learned you’re never to old to learn something new. Very few people in my family know how to swim. My daughter is 8 and she can be in the pool for HOURS! She just learned as well and can swim in the deep end LOL. Now I REALLY got to get over my fear.
I have a swim meet today and I have to do a 10, fly in an event and this is my first time doing that in an event and I’m so excited, I just had 5 practices, to practice fly.
The video has been very helpful in learning this tech of swimming. It helped me alot to swim efficiently and smoothly. Thanks for the video and big thumbs up
I already know the actions of butterfly I just really need to get better at it because my technique is absolutely disgusting. I also have no speed and that’s what gets me to be so slow. Also, I have two issues with butterfly, I always get soooooooooo tired and, I have a problem with putting my head up to high so, thank you so much for this video it helped so much.
I'm 62 and just retired to Florida and my retirement community has a Olympic size lap pool ...im going to give this a try , at least 1 lap . I can do 4 laps freestyle now after 5 months of almost daily training so I know this will be tough but it looks fun . But I have lost 15 lbs since retiring and I'm not a calorie watcher , just love the water. Also in the summer in Florida swimming is the only exercise I can take , walking or biking is tough to do in the summer .
"your thumbs should be almost touching as your hands enter the water?" Most coaches say your hands should enter the water at 11 and 1 o'clock (shoulder width). Wondering which is correct?
Know this vid's over a year old, but letting you know regardless for that algorithm metric. Going from couch to fit (pandemic pudge crept up). Started out with some 300m freestyle workouts, mixed in back stroke after, all while gnawing on old memories of swim technique. 300m turned into 3500m quickly every other day, "rest" days are 600m with focus on technique and exploration of styles/drills. Butterfly progress has been slow. Not in the same shape I was in highschool, my timing's wonky (watching this to get kick and arm timing visualization) so I keep screwing up about 15m in and repeating to get the feeling correct. First drills were wall kickoff + arrow + 5-6 dolphin kicks (repeated 30x). Next was focus on arms, entering/exiting correctly, proper stroke 2-3x (repeated 15-20x). Adding in breaths and syncing atm, working towards 25m sets, will add flips for 50m sets when comfortable (gym 25m lap pool), but I'm still a bit off. Biggest things so far have been: -26lbs dropped (at that inbetween for fat loss and muscle gain right now) -metabolism respiked... hard. Hunger 24/7 despite nutrition rebalance and filling foods, trying very hard not to eat everything available. As well as body heat, I've turned back into a human furnace, making sleep difficult (literally nude with only a thin sheet, constantly considering concrete/tile floor over bed, still wake up 2x a night hot and hungry.) -muscle tone/definition/cut. Thighs/calves/forearms/shoulders/neck always been muscly bricks, but they're still toning up. Losing my ass again (always do, from bubble to angry looking muscly, sigh.) V-line's coming back. Shoulderblades/upper and mid back popping up again. Stomach's flattening a little. Main reason for switching is for upper arms, chest, and stomach.
People say im fast learner but I really dont know it took me 4 days to learn freestyle breast and back stroke treading water from nothing and today im going to try this out and share the results💪🏻
Today i had a "alumni meet" where we just messed around and had events that you got to choose what you did, and you could do as many events as you wanted, and i chose to do the 50 back, breast, free, and fly, with all those events being back to back almost, and i somehow managed to actually do a good fly event though it was one of the last ones i did
Yesterday at a swim meet for high school I swam butterfly for the first time competitively I placed third and did not get DQ but it was so exhausting my arms felt limp afterwards but this just makes me wanna swim it more and get so much better at it
I tried butterfly stroke today, then I realised my hands and legs did not have enough strength to push my head out of the water. I could not do the third stroke. Now that I have learned a few tricks here, i will apply them the next time.
What do you call that kind of butterfly that the arms goes up-and-down instead of holding high like phelp? At the same time Undulate with much bigger amplitude.
i still have the certificate of my training of swimming back when i started swimming at age 7 got to class 9 of 10 of my swiming training butterfly was very hard for me to master and in my own eyes i flaked trying it as best i could but i probably half assed and half perfected it horribly due to butterfly kick/dolphin kick combined with both hands jetting out of the water to do the butterfly stroke with my hands
ill say this i enjoyed doing the butterfly kick/dolphin kick underwater i dont even think i have problems with my butterfly kick/dolphin kick (in my own self reflection of how i am doing) its only when i combined it with my hand strokes that i need to time it or something idk i do it horribly i think if i were to reflect on my combined butterfly/dolphin kick with my hand stroke in my eyes it looks like im flailing my body like a dolphin and arc-ing my hands out and in front of me weirdly and trying to time it which idk what im doing
Do you include butterfly in your swim training? Leave us a comment!

They are both more difficult in there own right, but I'd say butterfly is the harder overall stroke while breast is more of a timing stroke
Thank you for everything. Butterfly style is one the hardest style than ever.
Legs are essential for propulsion, not arms. It's very important! Dolphin kick it's everything.
yeah and the whole motion of the stroke is driven from the core. I learned that and went from a 27 50 fly to a 25 in 2 months
What’s your time for 100 fly
But i see the propulsion mostly come from the front

Going from couch to fit (pandemic pudge crept up).
Started out with some 300m freestyle workouts, mixed in back stroke after, all while gnawing on old memories of swim technique.
300m turned into 3500m quickly every other day, "rest" days are 600m with focus on technique and exploration of styles/drills.
Butterfly progress has been slow.
Not in the same shape I was in highschool, my timing's wonky (watching this to get kick and arm timing visualization) so I keep screwing up about 15m in and repeating to get the feeling correct.
First drills were wall kickoff + arrow + 5-6 dolphin kicks (repeated 30x).
Next was focus on arms, entering/exiting correctly, proper stroke 2-3x (repeated 15-20x).
Adding in breaths and syncing atm, working towards 25m sets, will add flips for 50m sets when comfortable (gym 25m lap pool), but I'm still a bit off.
Biggest things so far have been:
-26lbs dropped (at that inbetween for fat loss and muscle gain right now)
-metabolism respiked... hard. Hunger 24/7 despite nutrition rebalance and filling foods, trying very hard not to eat everything available. As well as body heat, I've turned back into a human furnace, making sleep difficult (literally nude with only a thin sheet, constantly considering concrete/tile floor over bed, still wake up 2x a night hot and hungry.)
-muscle tone/definition/cut.
Thighs/calves/forearms/shoulders/neck always been muscly bricks, but they're still toning up.
Losing my ass again (always do, from bubble to angry looking muscly, sigh.)
V-line's coming back. Shoulderblades/upper and mid back popping up again.
Stomach's flattening a little.
Main reason for switching is for upper arms, chest, and stomach.

Can I do flutter kicks instead of dolphin?
I tried butterfly stroke today, then I realised my hands and legs did not have enough strength to push my head out of the water. I could not do the third stroke.
Now that I have learned a few tricks here, i will apply them the next time.
What do you call that kind of butterfly that the arms goes up-and-down instead of holding high like phelp? At the same time Undulate with much bigger amplitude.
Me: has terrible back elasticity
Also me: I am gonna learn how to swim butterfly😂
I'm gonna break Michael Phelps's Record ⏺️🤘🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
Is it when your hands has entered the water is the only time you do the dolfin kick?
Bro this is hard fr
i still have the certificate of my training of swimming back when i started swimming at age 7
got to class 9 of 10 of my swiming training
butterfly was very hard for me to master and in my own eyes i flaked trying it as best i could but i probably half assed and half perfected it horribly due to butterfly kick/dolphin kick combined with both hands jetting out of the water to do the butterfly stroke with my hands
ill say this i enjoyed doing the butterfly kick/dolphin kick underwater i dont even think i have problems with my butterfly kick/dolphin kick (in my own self reflection of how i am doing)
its only when i combined it with my hand strokes that i need to time it or something idk i do it horribly i think
if i were to reflect on my combined butterfly/dolphin kick with my hand stroke in my eyes it looks like im flailing my body like a dolphin and arc-ing my hands out and in front of me weirdly and trying to time it which idk what im doing
