The little updates on how far Penn had gone compared to where Claire was at had me dying along with the little red bar going so fast while Penn kept stopping in the water.
Good job for trying Penn! This was such a public service. Athletes who have trained for years make it look so easy but this helps us to appreciate how awesome they are for making it to the Olympics! Go Claire and team U.S.A.!
I was on swim team in 7-9th grade. Butterfly is basically controlled drowning! Its hard to learn how to do correctly without getting a D.Q. Even learning how to breathe without inhaling a bunch of water, and hypervenelating is challenging. Props, dude!!!!!!!!! That was rough!!!!!!!!!
Hey Penn, I swam in high school and taught lessons for 8 years. 1st I am genuinely impressed that you got your cap on by yourself. A lot of us always had buddy help to cap ourselves. Second, your turn and underwater dolphin kick when the Olympian is complementing you, I would have assumed you had competition experience from seeing that streamline and kick. Ps- I started swimming my sophomore year. It wasn't until my senior year that I was able to do butterfly well (make it look good, not particularly fast). All through my sophomore and junior years I couldn't get my arms out of the water or coordinate my arms and kick.
But if he was a swimmer, his hight and arm length would be an advantage. Penn has to lift his arms higher. But for this being his first breast stroke you did just fine. Now go and sit down and gasp for air.😊😊😚
Congrats Penn! I am a swimmer and I know how hard you worked to do the 100 meter, especialy swiming butterfly. I am impresed. And Clair, good luck in the Olimpicks. GO TEAM USA.!🎉😘
Even when I was on swim team (a few years ago😜) I could never get the hang of butterfly. Well done Penn, I probably would have said screw it and swam the last 75M in freestyle.
I have two boys that were on the swim team in high school both are 6’3” and did the butterfly and did really well in the meets. I give you a lot of credit Penn for even trying because I was a swimmer to I high school and that was the only style I could not do.
I don’t understand why butterfly swimming exists in the first place. Is there anyone doing it casually, and not because it is a separate style on competitions? Freestyle is fast, breaststroke is easy, maybe backstroke if I want to watch the birds… so you can see people doing these in the sea or on the lake. But I’ve never seen anyone doing butterfly swim…
My 13 year old is a competitive swimmer and just swam the 100 meter fly a couple weeks ago. She got the biggest kick out of this and especially out of Claire's commentary! Thank you so much for making this video! It was wonderful!
No shame in Penn's game. That stroke is the most unnatural thing a person could ever do in the water. May I suggest that Penn try karate kata? It's just movement, no contact or chance of drowning.
As a swimmer I believe that every stroke is harder in different areas. In my opinion Butterfly is the hardest for speed, backstroke is the hardest for technique, breaststroke is the hardest for timing and you can be easily dq and freestyle doesn’t seem that hard until you really have to focus on technique and then it gets hard. Congrats to Penn for trying hard! I can’t deny that a 100 butterfly is hard. I don’t do it if I can avoid it.
That was amazing. Now I feel bad about what I did to my four kids all the years they did swim team. I had flashbacks to my teenage son having to do the butterfly leg of the relay race and hating it.
@@eya221 I think his age has something to do with it. If I asked my son -now 29- to do the butterfly, he would just laugh his butt off. I think it’s a use it or lose it thing. Butterfly is just brutal.
As a competitive swimmer, butterfly, while one of my favourites, is the hardest stroke. And his technique was pretty good I must say, better than some swimmers I see at competition
My mom was almost on Olympic team she almost made it in her time. I been to Olympic trials twice for Swimming its amazing. I grew up with swimmers my mom and my brother
"Normal" people can learn to do difficult things like the butterfly, but we have to commit to learning it and working at it, not show up and try it in an afternoon. I got into competitive tae kwon do a year ago. It's not at all easy, but I'm working hard at it and doing well and getting better. I'm in my mid 40s. I salute Penn for giving it a shot though. I'll bet his first attempt was better than most. It takes guts to show your first efforts at anything.
My coach says that butterfly is the easier stroke if you time it right. I tend to pick a song with a steady beat and swim my races with that in my head.
This is easy because I’ve been swimming since I was 5 so for about 6 years and a little tip is to stretch before to open up your lungs and to keep you arms STRAIT!!!
Penn... your lucky it's not a medley. A medley, for those who don't know, is a 200meter race with all 4 strokes swam. 50 meters butterfly then 50 meters breaststroke, 50 meters backstroke and finaly 50 meter freestyle. I know a ten year old who can do it.
If you touch the bottom, you're also get disqualified for. I'm a special Olympics athlete & yes the butterfly is the hardest stroke to do. I can only do 25m (one length) of the butterfly. The last swim meet I went to before covid hit I think I came in second for the butterfly.
Penn: 60 metres
Claire: Drying her hair, watching TikTok
I'm dead
If Penn took any longer, Claire would have been on her way to the airport.
The little updates on how far Penn had gone compared to where Claire was at had me dying along with the little red bar going so fast while Penn kept stopping in the water.
🤣
I figure others have pointed this out but Penn is in great shape so this isn't even an average person lol
Seriously!
True! And he’s built like Michael Phelps!
Exactly!
Very true, best comment ever
My thoughts as well!
Good job for trying Penn! This was such a public service. Athletes who have trained for years make it look so easy but this helps us to appreciate how awesome they are for making it to the Olympics! Go Claire and team U.S.A.!
I loved that they actually got Claire's commentary! Best ever.
she's awesome
💗
As a competitive swimmer I can tell you butterfly is NOT easy, hats off to Penn for even trying.
Me too. lol
Fly isn’t that hard get a right technique and it’s as easy as freestyle
Really? That and the breaststroke are my two favorites!
@@landynrankin3421 yes, if technique is right it is 100 times easier than done wrong!
Same

I’m really glad Penn didn’t have a heart attack.
ME TOO

Well done Penn for even trying butterfly 🦋
Claire's feedback was so sweet.
Penn, your time was 3 minutes faster than 90% of us. Way to take one for the team.
“Has he been disqualified for form yet?”
“Yes.”
😂😂 Gold medal effort though!
His wingspan is so wide, they need a bigger lane for him!
that must have been the problem, lol
😂
But if he was a swimmer, his hight and arm length would be an advantage. Penn has to lift his arms higher. But for this being his first breast stroke you did just fine. Now go and sit down and gasp for air.😊😊😚

Oh my god, this just gave me an idea- Kim tries competitive cheering for a day!

I've never tried to do any of these swimming strokes that are in the Olympics, so kudos to everyone who trains for this sport!
Just showing up and taking off his shirt should have offset some of the disqualifications. Good Job!
At least he’s got the Michael Phelps flap!! 😊

I'm a swimmer and Butterfly is the second fastest stroke, though I agree, it is annoying. Once you are actually good at it, it becomes a lot more fun.
@@LunaMoonArt748 definitely
Butterfly can be faster than free if you are good enough at it, so that's why it exists.
@@erinlouise5516 Definitely right. Though I have to admit my backstroke is faster than my butterfly so maybe I should work on it :)
@@LunaMoonArt748 So it is not the fastest, nor the easiest, therefore no reason to exist.
It is more like Phoebe’s running then:D
So cool that you got Claire to analyze it! 🏊🏻♂️
Love this. Great opportunity to be coached by an Olympic coach. Thanks for this smart video!
Claire, good luck in Tokyo, we are all rooting for you! Penn, nice try buddy, we all love you.
My 13 year old is a competitive swimmer and just swam the 100 meter fly a couple weeks ago. She got the biggest kick out of this and especially out of Claire's commentary! Thank you so much for making this video! It was wonderful!
Hey, congratulations for not only attempting it but, to do it for all of us to see!🙂
Great job Penn, my shoulders have been hurting just watching you! 🦋

Makes me appreciate the hard work 💪 and dedication that goes into making a remarkable Olympic swimmer.
I always feel like I look amazing when I do this stoke, and then I see myself on camera, lol 😂
I got all excited about swimming after watching the Olympic Trials. It took me 14:21 minutes to swim the same distance the athletes did in 2:32.🤣
That is amazing that Penn even tried it!! Great job!!!! You get the gold medal from me!
I love when you do an interview but it doesn't look like an interview!!!lol!!!😊
Good job , Penn! 🏊🏼♂️🏊🏼♂️🏊🏼♂️🏊🏼🏊🏼🏊🏼

Hi, great video I love swiming, butterfly is the hardest
Excellent Phelps style arm flapping!

He was being quite dramatic, the butterfly isnt that bad. But im a swimmer, so i may not be able to say anything.,,

@@susanrussell8195 it’s definitely not for everyone, but it is for me lol
Penn is right I'm a competitive swimmer and butterfly takes a lot of strength!!! Great job!!!😃😃😃
Lol he did pretty good. I'm a swimmer so this cracks me up
Same butterfly is my best stroke and this made me laugh
Yeah backstroke and breath stroke are my best strokes
Omg.. that was awesome! Totally puts things into perspective
Dang, Penn. I feel my asthma acting up just watching you attempt this.
Yeah Penn!! Bravo for trying, this is my best event and even I think it's hard😅
"...that's just a clock, Honey!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Claire: showered and watching tictok! 🤣🤣🤣
That was a great lesson for all!
That was awesome!! Love the Olympics videos. I’m looking forward to more!!!
Stay tuned!
This was so funny! I loved it!
That was great penn my my my probably the hardest stroke in the swimming you did good glad to see you try have a great day from Kentucky
My son swam butterfly for 12 years. It's a hard stroke, and he was always tired after every race! Good job for even trying!
Well done Penn. All good wishes to our Olympians!
Penn: 50 meters
Claire: Out of pool, showered
❤
I love that they do this for all those ppl that critic the athletes who fund their efforts and do so much work.
Great Job Penn. I hated fly when I swam so now go do the fly kick while holding a kick board above your head for 5 mins. Good luck.
I love how you showed that Clare would be out of the pool and showered while Penn was still swimming. LOL. Very funny video :-)
More Olympic videos! Lol! Equestrian show jumping, and diving! Will you do this for Winter Olympics???
Props to Penn for trying
The red line made me crack up…..can’t stop laughing….stop it!
I have this idea that they should average people in the olympics to see how hard they are and how cool those olympians are.
Loved this!
Penn is such a trooper!
It feels great that someone understands how hard swimming is for once!
This was an amazing vlog. Loved it. 👍
I vote for Kim & Penn to do this during the Olympics for all events, especially with commentary from athletes!
I laughed too hard at this. Good job Penn! Serious congrats for even trying.
That was awesome. Good job, Penn.
GO CLAIRE CURZAN!! IM BEST FRIENDS WITH HER LITTLE SISTER IN NC!! GOOO U GOT THIS
As a competitive swimmer, butterfly, while one of my favourites, is the hardest stroke. And his technique was pretty good I must say, better than some swimmers I see at competition
Butterfly. The stroke that drowns you while your head is OUT of the water!
🦋 👍 Good Job Penn!
Penn is such a good sport. Loved how Claire was dubbed in giving feed back on Penn's performance.
Nice try, Penn! Kim, love to see you attempt the next one!
This was so funny to watch, I am a swimmer
My mom was almost on Olympic team she almost made it in her time. I been to Olympic trials twice for Swimming its amazing. I grew up with swimmers my mom and my brother
I'm impressed that Penn could do butterfly at all, it's so so so hard
So proud! I used to swim competitively and the butterfly is one I never bothered to master.

Noticed he had his ring on ,you did great.
Why is this stroke even called the butterfly? It should be called something like the flippity-flop or the death stroke. LOL!
I like this video. Puts things into perspective while watching the games this year.
I wonder how much life insurance Pen has. It sounds to me like Kim is trying to make him exert himself so much that he’s going to have a heart attack.
Do you guys remember “Eric the Eel”? Just a random thought, no relation to the video whatsoever:D
She is such a lovely young woman! And Penn is a trouper. This swimming stuff is not as easy as others make it look. 🥰😎
This was epic. LOVED it!
Love you guys! Go 🇺🇸!
That was possibly the funniest thing ever however I definitely couldn’t have done it either!
Penn, I know that was super hard but at least you weren't out in the sun and you looked GREAT!
I did a 200 meter butterfly last week and could not lift my arms above my head the next day.
My coach says that butterfly is the easier stroke if you time it right. I tend to pick a song with a steady beat and swim my races with that in my head.
3 hours 23 minutes??? 🤣
Meanwhile, me, who can only float on water. 🤣
Fantastic!! Love it!! 🥇🇺🇸!!
Great job Penn! I imagine if you wore a speedo, your time would be half that. Thank you for doing this.
I laughed so hard watching this that I got stomach cramps!
I loved the commentary from claire
