Did you catch Torri Huske’s American record-breaking 55.66 win in the 100-meter butterfly at the US Olympic Swimming Trials? One aspect of her race, in particular, caught our attention; her breathing pattern. Torri swims the first 50 meters using a one up, one down breathing pattern. This breathing pattern is perhaps the most common pattern we see swimmers use for the 100 butterfly, but does that mean everyone should be using it?
In the second 50 meters of her race, Torri changes her breathing pattern to a mainly two up, one down pattern, giving her more oxygen to finish the race strong. If you watched the race, you probably noticed how much Torri pulled away from the rest of the field in the second 50. We believe changing her breathing pattern helped her do that.
Depending on your age, level of swimming, gender, and aerobic shape, there is an optimal butterfly breathing pattern for you. In this video, we teach our Race Club campers several breathing patterns used by some of the best swimmers in the world and help them choose the appropriate one.
As the trials continue, The Race Club is eager to see other swimmers using different approaches to give them an edge over their competitors. Outside of USA Swimming, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. We’re sure to see more swimmers using similar techniques and can’t wait to share those with you when we do. Until then, check out our video to learn more about butterfly breathing patterns!

First of all thank you very much for sharing your wisdom I have always seen your videos for years you do an excellent job, I always wanted to thank you for that, at the same time I wanted to know why when I do each stroke I feel that I advance faster but I get tired faster and when I do the frequency 2,1,2,1 in breathing I feel that I advance more slowly but I get less tired

@theraceclub 2 года назад

Hi Jose, thanks for you comment and feedback! By "do each stroke" do you mean breathe every stroke? I would recommend putting this to the test in practice and getting actual times for this. You should be able to sustain your pace for longer if you are breathing more frequently.

Hi I’m working on my butterfly but the timing for the fly stroke is hard and I get tired easier is there a way to be able to breath no as hard when doing the stroke

@theraceclub Год назад

keep practicing will probably be the best solution but you could try working on your late breath-technique - some of our swimmers report it as easier than the early breath technique. Try this drill to work on late breath timing 👉 instagram.com/reel/Cm-TrjWLzIa/?

On the recovery I can’t seem to get my arms to come out straight out of the water. I tried straightening them out, but is there something else I could be doing that’s causing that? Thank you!

@theraceclub 2 месяца назад

Virtually all elite butterflyers use a straight arm recovery, because there is more kinetic energy in the arm entry and better coupling with the second down kick. Try using the left/right/front drill to learn how to recover with the straight arms. You can find that instructional video on our website as a Lane 3 member. www.theraceclub.com.

@ethanherschenfeld 3 месяца назад

can someone explain what he means by two up one down vs. one up one down? thanks, ethan

@theraceclub 3 месяца назад

One breath on a stroke, no breath on a stroke is one up one down, two up means two breaths in a row, then hold one. Gary

@ethanherschenfeld 3 месяца назад

@@theraceclub thanks, Gary. and "hold one" means no breath on that stroke? Ethan

@ethanherschenfeld 3 месяца назад

now i get it. i would just describe it as breath every stroke, breath every two strokes, or breath every three strokes.

@kabes1776 Год назад

Mr. Hall how can I gauge my breathing pattern on my 100 fly

@theraceclub Год назад

Test what works for you! Most importantly, learn how to stay low with those breaths & scape your chin on the surface of the water!

@ajayvs1422 8 месяцев назад

i had mostly seen in competition while doing butterfly, legs wont come out and splash the water because as they are doing fast. butterfly looks good only if leg comes outside and should splash the water like the orca or dolphin does in the ocean.

@theraceclub 8 месяцев назад

The feet tend to come out of the water most often before the downkick that happens during the pull. If too much of the legs are coming out, the athlete might be pressing the chest/overflexing the hip too much during the kick that happens when their arms land at the end of the recovery!

@michael15797 3 года назад

When i breathe every stroke it just doesn’t feel as fast and isn’t as fast over a 200m. I don’t know what i’m doing wrong…

@theraceclub 3 года назад

First, learn to take a low-profile (drag) breath in fly. Otherwise, breathing every stroke will tire you quickly.

@robohippy 3 года назад

Hmm, in a discussion with another swim channel, or two, can't remember.... I have been wondering at the breathing differences between men and women. In the 100 and 200 freestyle, all of the men use the gallop style freestyle. With the women, maybe half of them breath in variations of every 3rd stroke to some thing like on the 2, 2, then 4th stroke. Katie Ledecky is an exception. She swims that gallop style exclusively. I had thought that maybe it was because the men were bigger and stronger, so would burn more oxygen than the women. Now I am wondering if you can put one of those oxygen sensors on a finger and determine oxygen levels under race conditions. Seems like those finger clips are standard now days when you go see a doctor....

@theraceclub 3 года назад

Perhaps a water-proof pulse oximeter could be made. The breathing patterns are different in the 100 fly/free with men/women because of the difference in lactate production and aerobic capacity.

@robohippy 3 года назад

@@theraceclub It surprises me that the women have more aerobic capacity than men. I know that doesn't necessarily mean more lung capacity, but more about ability to process oxygen. Of course, this bought up another question from me. I had a long hike today, a day off from the pool, so lots of time to ponder things. I am now wondering about calorie burn during work outs, as in compensating for age and weight/size differences are calorie burning rates similar or much different? I know, thanks to my sports watch, that I burn maybe 15% more calories when swimming than I do when I bike, and biking is about the same as hiking. I do require hills for both the bike and the hike. I did see a clip on GTN (global triathlon network) where they compared running, swimming and biking. I do remember running burned the most calories, but don't remember about biking compared to swimming, but think they did one on biking vs running. That bought to mind how do your swimmers fuel themselves before meets, before and during swims, and post swim. Hydration also.... I would expect burn rates to be similar. The triathlon channels all have a lot of info on fueling ourselves, but I don't think I have seen much about this for swimmers.
