That you are showing a young, energetic swimmer. You will show the capabilities and success of a 50-60 year old swimmer in this discipline and with this style. It would be very educational.
SUPER helpful! I just learned how to do the butterfly stroke from this video. My back, breast and freestyle have always been strong but my butterfly was just non-existent till now.
Wanted to say thank you for the don't go slow tip. As someone still trying to figure this stroke out at all, I tend to try and slow down to think about technique and then get frustrated.
Staying flat and tight makes a huge difference in fly. Experimented with reduced breathing and staying flat at Nationals Irvine, dropped my 50 fly time by 1+ seconds. Watched my swim and I know I can drop another second. Hoping to get into 27 seconds next nationals. Great tips Fares!
I used to bob my head into the water with every stroke. It felt natural and I didn't think it was wrong. But eventually I watched a video of a professional swimmer, and his head stayed almost perfectly at the waterline while his body undulated from the chest down. Now my head bobs a little, but I try to keep it to a minimum and it does help. For years I was putting way too much effort into the stroke for no gain.

Funny, our Masters coach just told me this week to not sweep wide upon hand entry! So today I was working on that thinking "essentially two free style pulls"! Thanks for the tips!
For some reason when first started swimming butterfly I thought you had to do a streamline position with my arms, lol I quickly fixed that and improved a bunch on my races!!
Hallow mr.Kares...introduce my self my name is oky from INDONESIA...I really like the content on your RUclips channel, which provides education on good swimming techniques. When I was active as a coach for the Banyu Biru swimming club Bumiayu Indonesia. Good luck with your RUclips channel and I like the shirt you're wearing.
Really good video! I've had the problem with sweaping and my breathing technique for a while now, so i mainly need to work on that, but i honestly really appreciate the fact that i can finally improve my timings and techniques in 100M , 50M, and 200M
My butter fly has always been weak and I've been meaning to precipice it more especially for IM because my backstroke is pretty groovy my breast stroke I usually end up in front again and then free I just go all in for the win but hopefully using these tips will be like the missing link to making my IM faster!
This video is really great. I especially appreciate your point that you cannot swim butterfly "slowly." That's such a huge misconception. If you slow down, the timing of the entire stroke suffers. I also believe that all the butterfly learning videos that employ lots of slow motion footage are a big problem. When you watch the stroke in slow motion, you lose the sense of flow and that momentum you need to actually swim the stroke correctly. If you're in the water and try to emulate the slow motion videos, your stroke will not work. You can only swim butterfly fast, with momentum and a steady and strong forward motion. I find that this stroke is all about fast and fluid full-body movement that carries from one part of the stroke into the next.
@allenliu7519 what's wrong with you? no one asked you either. how do you know I am the only person who feels that? you asked everyone? zero logic and sense in your reply.
Wow this was super helpful, I never learned how to do butterfly so I’m trying to learn from your videos. Good stuff! Also totally makes sense why I can’t do a slow breaststroke, I noticed in my workout yesterday I can’t do a slow lap of breaststroke without going too deep underwater with each stroke.
Great tips! About not swimming slow... Do you make a difference between gliding and swimming slow? I really feel like you said and need to use power to do a stroke but I do also can control the effort by gliding a bit (or more 😉) while I'm in the stretched position. I remember doing good 200 fly overgliding this way. Still, I always tought butterfly to be fun 25m 😂, probably because we can fully feel the style at high speed.
Man, thats realy true with the head too high point, thats exactly what i am doing wrong and of course will start to practise, as soon as the water is more than 8 degress outside..... I mean i have the power in my arms, from my Cross Fit times years ago, but thís made me slow.... I didnt realy catched the 4th point (bending knees). Might be a translation problem, but I will figure it out Thanks a lot at this point and kepp on doing!
Very helpful video- I can't figure out if stroke count is defined by kick or arm pull though (and even with the kick it's confusing what counts as one full- up or down or up and down). I think I breathe every arm pull and do 2 kicks per. Sounds hard to do two pulls in one breath. But it might help go faster
I don't know if anyone still remembers Denis Pankratov. He finished the first 50 meters without emerging in the 100 meters dolphin style, and then emerged only in the last 25 meters and won. A big greeting to everyone, especially those from Germany - let's get organized and teach the young generation styles. There's a lot missing here - a lot.
I know what he means by feeling fresh at the beginning of the race. I swam the 200 fly and I felt so fresh at the beginning of the race and forgot to breathe. By the end of the race I was so gassed and was breathing every stroke 😅
I really like the butterfly, however, having trouble getting my arms 'completely" out of the water. This was my stroke in the 1970's on the swim team (with the freestyle :-)!!
I don’t miss getting excited at the start of a race and forgetting to breathe for the first 25-35m, then paying the price 2 lengths later!
You correction my swimming all the time .l study many techniques in your vedio
That you are showing a young, energetic swimmer. You will show the capabilities and success of a 50-60 year old swimmer in this discipline and with this style. It would be very educational.
I do this then i’m exhausted at the end
Shush
But could you tell us about the benefits of that breathing pattern, if it became consistent ? It is the way to improve it, says the teacher.
It hasn’t even premiered yet and already has 10 likes
😊😊
"No slow fly" clearly you have not seen my fly
I know the feeling... I know the feelin
SUPER helpful! I just learned how to do the butterfly stroke from this video. My back, breast and freestyle have always been strong but my butterfly was just non-existent till now.

Congratulations!
Hmmm…I'm 74 and I still love to swim fly. But I swim slow, have more up and down movement and resistance. But I still love it!
Yoooo I really know that feeling for butterfly😂 that first 25 feel like butter 🔥

Like for the illustration

Look for a video from a 57 year old in a year
This is literally just wanted I needed. Thank so much guys!!
Funny, our Masters coach just told me this week to not sweep wide upon hand entry! So today I was working on that thinking "essentially two free style pulls"! Thanks for the tips!
The way you talk is very powerful and straightforward just like butterfly swimming.
Hello swimpro! Your tips are very helpful! This is better than the swimming lessons:)
Glad you think so!
Lol.
I am a begineer learning butterfly. This video is great, thanks for shairing.
I am a swimmer, not a begginer not an advanced one but these tips made me so much faster that they made me feel like an advanced swimmer. Thank you!
6:38 in slow motion that’s got hurt
You draw great!

Just love your videos!!! It had helped me improve A LOT!!!
Excellent Video!!! Congrats
Great illustrations
For me number 2 was fantastic !!!!!
Thanks. Very helpful. I totally agree with the swim fly faster suggestion. I discovered it by accident. It's sooooo much easier.
For some reason when first started swimming butterfly I thought you had to do a streamline position with my arms, lol I quickly fixed that and improved a bunch on my races!!
Glad to hear that you've improved!!
I love ur vid
Like your illustration fares
Love your videos
Always good stuff in your post ........ (Jamaica)
Resonate so much with the ‘please, let me just survive at least one perfect butterfly stroke, no matter how slow’🥹

Thanks for sharing. I subbed. Congrats.

Not true for me.
@campfortune no one asked. and youre the only person who feels that actually
@allenliu7519 what's wrong with you? no one asked you either. how do you know I am the only person who feels that? you asked everyone? zero logic and sense in your reply.
Thank you now i know why i was tired in butterfly even tho i swam easy
Perfect!
Muchas gracias por compartir tantos conocimientos, excelentes consejos para mejorar, pura vida desde Costa Rica
Your lessons are super clear & invaluable. At 85 yrs of age having a plan you know works makes progress no matter how small inevitable.
Thank you so much Theodore! So true - following a plan is the best route to success!
Everytime i start a butterfly set i always sprint the first one lol, its just so fun to do when you feel fresh, i just hate doing it while im tired
I gotta say, I love your whiteboard illistrations!
Swimmer or whiteboard artist? The world may never know! 😂
lol😆😆
Yes waiting for the upload!
More to come!
EXCELLENT bonus advice! Ty.

@benfisher9571imagine not going a 28 in the 50 fly
Thank you for the videos on the four swimming strokes can you do a video on the top 5 IM mistakes if you can
I learned more from this video than swimming classes for 3 years...
That's awesome to hear!
Wonder what you think of the Shaw method. The woman who demonstrates looks so clean and relaxed.
Well done! very articulate and easy to comprehend. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Happy swimming :)
I’m a state champion in the 100 and 50 fly
Nice video thank you
You're welcome, Paul! Thanks for tuning in and happy swimming :)
Great tips, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Happy swimming :)
6:41 Ouch, I felt that from here
The second tip is so true!!!

Glad you enjoyed it, Selene! Happy swimming!
When I try going slow in fly, I just imagine flopping my hands down onto the water and it just feels so good 😁😁😁
Thank you that was really helpful
Glad to hear it! Happy swimming, Nour!
I have an 100 yards tonight, thanks for the tips.

OMG i do the same thing in my fly

Can u share some drills of butterfly for beginners for kicks hips n head movements
Caleb bends his knees
Hello
I really like the butterfly, however, having trouble getting my arms 'completely" out of the water. This was my stroke in the 1970's on the swim team (with the freestyle :-)!!
First 25 fly I feel like the Zohan in the swimming scene...little did I know I was not the zohan
