Butterfly Swimming Technique | Stroke 

Enid Masmela I agree I do swim and it's hard

Enid Masmela but it is very hard ı know this because ı am swimmer

It’s one of those easier said than done things. I’m not saying i can do it, since im also struggling with butterfly

The trick to butterfly is the rhythm. Get that right and it flows almost naturally.

It look easy until u tried it LOL-

I totally agree ! I can barely do 3-4 full strokes before exhausting myself let alone do a complete 25m lap. I learnt it 3 days ago.

That's kinda too much tbh

Guys maybe you’re doing wrong technique hence more resistance more energy. First practice kicking.. practice more and more dolphin kick. After that engage hand.. do as slow as possible…

He's a pitty swimmer. Look at the video , he's not getting out his head above water. In butterfly swiming method you have to get half of the chest above water. He\s a mermaid :))))

Yes, even as a casual swimmer, I feel the workout part, haha... I also feel the improvement after weight/resistance training in the gym

It's not really breathing every stroke but entire Phelps's technique whice makes it plausible for him to breathe every stroke. He kicks both up and down, swims in the flat position and pulls with much flatter forearms. Therefore his recovery takes much less time, which he can use to breathe more without too much cost.

Agree

The pros are using a lot more oxygen then you and almost every muscle in body , if you’re a recreational swimmer every other stroke is probably best

Breathing every stroke is only good for a max 200. In a max 50 you should basically not be breathing, in a 100 you want to breathe about every two for a good balance between speed and oxygen. In very long distances (800+) breathing every 2 saves energy.

@@file4318 damn turning your body to breathe on every 2nd stroke seems like a lot of work

10+ years of swimming classes+a pool in my backyard, still cant do it

@@Clearness122 Let's both do our best :)

@@AlvinDarmawan05 thanks man :)

I noticed the slower style butterfly is doable with practice. Not for competitive swimming but if you google the Shaw butterfly there are 3 parts that explain it. I was able in couple weeks to do a decent butterfly.

To optimize your approach to mastering the butterfly stroke, focusing on one aspect at a time is very important. Initially, concentrate on mastering the body positioning, specifically the body undulation, as it is the foundation of the stroke. Once you grasp this element, move on to incorporating the arm movement, ensuring that both arms are moving in unison. The timing of the leg kick also plays a crucial role in the propulsion of the stroke. A common mistake is to kick too early or too late, so pay attention to the timing and make necessary adjustments. Incorporating a kickboard can also be beneficial as it allows you to independently focus on the leg kick. Finally, could you combine all the elements and practice the full stroke? It's important to remember to maintain a consistent rhythm and coordination with all stroke components. Incorporating a snorkel can aid in the breathing aspect of the stroke, allowing you to focus on the other elements without added strain, as taking a breath is the hardest part (at least for me). It is essential to be patient with yourself and to keep going even if progress seems slow. Remember that mastering the butterfly stroke is a process. You will eventually achieve your goal with consistent practice and attention to detail.

Don't give up.. I thought It was impossible at times, but once you get the feel... Its the most amazing and beautiful feeling ever!

seriously, like such a beauty artform

They have a seperate video for it

Exactly. The professionals breathe every stroke except for short sprints.

do I take one giant gulp of air every stroke? do I exhale it all soon or late?

then i just lay there like a beached whale

@@megabruhmoment8 same

Me, out of breath and dampered like tired fish.

My legs literally shake when I get up lol. Even after basic freestyle.

I always feel like I need to take a Nap in the water right there on the ropes.

haha

😂

Your body line is the shape of your body from head to toe, seen from the front or back. If still not clear, then look at your life size shadow. Keeping your hands inside of body line is staying within the bounds of the your body as if outlined by your "shadow".

Thanks!

Yes,with practice you can go as slow as you like except you have to snap your kicks and your underwater pull should still be fast the recovery can be slow and you can glide before catching for the pull

Feels bad

This. The dude in the video didnt seem like he even needed to breathe.

They are together and if you rewatch the video you will see the way his legs move together kind of like a wave

Same. I started learning it. The kicks were easy but it's so hard to get my head out of the water and my hands start aching after one rotation lol

Lol same. Sometimes when I do it, water gets in my mouth and throat and it stops me in my tracks.

U know with out the arm u should first practice so ur head goes up when u want to breath 0:49 look at this he put his head out to breath
