I swim since I am a child and I discovered this swimming style in my youth. I concider this style to be the most efficient and most relaxing of all. If you are not swimming for competition then you can literally swim like that for ages and there is no need to have a fast stroke rate but you can nicely control your gliding and only push when you decelarate to a certain speed. But I dont do it like here in the video. I push it with a typical breast stroke leg push kicking my back up and then I butterfly my arms. While you butterfly you can add for a short moment a dolphine move for your legs before you kick your legs like in a breast stroke. And so on. Super relaxing and fast actually. Because you have much less resistance on the water on your back and you can glide like a kanu. This way I can swim faster than most people in free style while using much less energy. You wont reach top speed this way but you can swim like that for hours.
I keep my hands closer together and allow my face to go underwater. I first do a breast-stroke kick, then follow up with a butterfly kick before returning to the starting position.
Wow cool, that is literally how I do it too! Most unique way of swimming. Never saw anyone do it this way actually. Probably because people might think this is too complicated but it is rather easy. And it is fast and energy efficient as you can glide on your back much better than in any other position.
@@Stinktierchen Yes, it is unique. Very few people do it. Indeed, it's very energy efficient and very effective, allowing the swimmer to reach great speeds with minimum effort. You're right, Stink; people probably consider it too complicated, which is ironic, because it's actually very intuitive.
I'm a beginner swimmer and it's currently my favourite stroke

This is how I swim as well.

The foot movement isn't part of the butterfly stroke
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? !!!! You are actually doing nothing, that is not reverse buttery 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
