This video was presented to the viewer as an online reference and a free example in order to provide a visual explanation of how to swim butterfly. If you just started learning this stroke, you might need some advice to make the process a little bit easier.
First of all, there are two kicks while swimming butterfly: the first kick occurs during the catch phase and the other one during the finish. Make sure to keep legs together and move both arms at the same time. Second kick is usually performed stronger in order to help arms fly above the water.
Second of all, keep in mind that butterfly is the hardest stroke in swimming and requires power along with good flexibility in shoulders. Work on your biceps, triceps, abs, and lower body (squads and jumps) as well as increasing flexibility.
Last but not least, come back to our swimming channel time to time and watch our butterfly swimming videos to improve your technique. Still have trouble learning it? Try to go with drills first and then put all the pieces together for swim. If you have any questions / comments / ideas about butterfly swimming, feel free to contact us and we will be glad to help you.

Thanks for your feedback!

Holy fuck, I really need to train harder.
me too :((
Saaame bro
asdf! 12131 bloody hell
same.. how old are you bro and how long do you practice swimming?
I start swimming when I was about 4 months old but even though I have been a good swimmer over many years (I am not trying to show off before anyone says anything) but one day I want to take part in swimming competitions so I went to the adult swimming lessons yesterday for the first time in years everyone are different but the butterfly stroke is one of the most challenging ones but just like everything else... practice and you will understand it..... I am still practicing on it (that is why I am watching this) but you don't have to be perfect.... just learn the basic steps and then just keep practicing :)
that was quite something, watching human move like an aquatic mammal
Exactly my thoughts
You are fish i dont no
when i first attempted d butterfly, ppl thought i was drowning.
this vid is amazing.will give this another try..tq
afiq adam Bwahaha
Wow, this video is awesome. I am a freestyler and am falling behind greatly in my other strokes. My coaches have always told me that my butterfly form was by far the worst, but i haven't completely understood the ways they were telling me to do. This video was a definite help. So glad i saw this! :)
Beautiful. I've never known butterfly stroke, when executed properly, could turn into something like this. Since I've always saw it performed from the surface, I would never know.
Marvelous
raydeltaedge Thank you for your kind feedback!
Watching his body when he was using the kick board was hypnotizing.. no homo
keep saying that
I think it's bcus of the reflection too
We are glad to hear about your success! You are right there are two kicks in butterfly swimming. However, the second kick has to be stronger in order to help arms get out of the water easier and make them fly over the water rather than dragging them on the water. The first kick is just a supportive one.
Learn butterfly 6 month ago,like 37 years old and must say,it's most beautiful thing ever...
This is poetry...
it is actually swimming.
No this is a apache helicopter
totally
This is a fish right?
no it's not called fish
it's called butterfly because the hands and the arm pulling down and up looks like a butterfly flapping it's wings
and the feet is called the dolphin
+Al Walid I think this commenter was implying that the swimmer's efficiency and speed resembled that of a fish. :)
+Al Walid No Shit
Al Walid dummy
Black magic
Good video. The commentary was perfect.
Thanks!
Lmfaooo
😂😂😂
bahahaha they replied
SO TRUE
Damn he fast af :O
I can't even run that fast 😢
+Thumb Nail Collector hhhhhhhhhh
Freydom247 thats because hes a coach
Freydom247 ikr im just slow..
Can anyone help me to explain so in every stroke in butterfly we need 2 kicks? One is stronger?
Really beautiful, it must feel amazing to swim like that, very inspiring.
When I do the "Butterfly" I look more like I'm drowning then I am swimming xD
LMAO SAME
More practice
lollll
Yea it feel like you doing it but when u not
same
What kind of fish is this ?
Huh im wondering the same thing
the buttermanfish
Manfly fish?
phaedon93 nimo haha
the fish tastes good
It's beautiful..
Thank you! We are glad you liked it! :)
Reverse dolphin swim: I developed this fun stroke over the last 10 years just by trying something new. I do it with the fins to get enough force and speed to get me out of the water for air. My daughter is learning it now. She is 10 years old and she is having a lot of fun doing it
+alvaro polar Too bad the stroke you developed is not allowed during competition :)
such a satisfying video
Your 'second kick' needs to happen slightly before your hands pull past your legs. Demonstrated perfectly in this video. Novice butterfly swimmers often wait too long to initiate their second kick and thus suffer from incorrect timing. I have found it helpful in telling my swimmer to start their second kick as they are beginning to pull.
Thank you SwimTechnique for this fantastic video!
Oh my god
Your dolphin kick so perfect
Wee im a butterfly swimming but this guys stroke! wow... he's like a dolphin! Its just so smooth. I have a lot to work on :) so happy i came a cross this video!
Better swimmer than a fish!
I like how he saves that momentum, incredible
Incredible. He has so much energy and doesn't even need to breathe!! I need to breathe if I'm doing butterfly and I'm under for like 5 seconds
Seriously this guy is a high class athlete.. all the best whoever you are.. i dunno how long it will take for me to learn this but im going to try..
Holy shit he's like a mermaid!
Or a merman! :)
Ive watched this now for a few days and i cant quite believe a human can swim so fluently and gracefully with so little effort ! Thing is, so much is happening i cant work out where im going wrong ! Haha .... Fantastic video ;- ))))))
Wow amazing 👌 great swimmer
+Balloch Ballochkhaliq Thank you! We appreciate your feedback!
I've started training for a butterfly with this video at the first time. What a great! Comport motion and shape like a spear.
Thanks you guys. I can reduce the count of breathe and approach time.
Then please issue the more one for all the swimmers.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We truly appreciate it!
Really helpful if you watch it in 0.25
Thank you very much sir for this video very clear and precise. This is true at the beginning I had problems with the dolphin swim and to synchronize my hands with my legs, but I have persevered and worked a lot. Now I can go swim 100m easyly with the butterfly Swim. Thank you a lot sir!
الصوت راحه نفسيه
Just started swimming and finding it very nice to challenge myself, might wanna try this technique out, might take time, but looks so worth it.
Definitely don't be afraid to challenge yourself in swimming! Indeed, it's been a great sport, activity and hobby for many generations :) Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
beautiful! such beautiful technique
Thank you! It's always a pleasure to serve swimming community!
Thanks for your soon answer!!! I'll working on that. I'm 37 so learned to swim at this age and now training hard is really great for me. I love it!!!!
美しい！ So beautiful!
The perfect butterfly stroke.. Man, this is my favorite stroke. I hope I look like this when I swim. =)
the cameraman had to be very fast by swimming the same speed as the swimmer and still managing to hold the camera
he was walking from the outside of the pool with the camera submerged
So funny how people look at physiologic outliers and assume if others cannot match it the stroke is doomed. Everyone is an interweb geNiuS! Great videos you have here I linked my Master's group to your page months ago. We have a former D1 NCAA champ in the 200scy fly on our squad who's stroke is a dead ringer for your guy here so he's doing just fine:)
anybody held their breath for a bit while watching the video? lol
Kevin Chern 😂😂😂😂😂👌👌 I
very late, but please note when you launch your upper half out of the water with the dolphin kick you breath. This guy goes like 3 kicks before going for air, but he seem to do mouth movements every kick for some reason.
@@blahblah-js1bu r
Congratulations! There are a lot of tips but the main one is always work hard and don't look at anyone. Carefully listen to what your coach say and do a little bit of extra (extra underwater, extra speed, even sometimes extra yardage). Good look on your swimming journey and don't forget to come back and watch Swim Technique TV videos as those will help you start swimming faster too.
I envy anyone who would even attempt a butterfly swim
That dolphin kick is on point
Why is there a dolphin in your pool?
PPP603 lol. Good one! :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your feedback and advice. We'll try doing it!
For gods sake thats a FISH !
Saurabh Sarang butterfly stroke. See more videos like this especially Olympic last time in Rio.
@@franzfms86 r/you.missed.the.joke
Thank you very much!! I've been swimming for a month now and I have improved a lot. I really enjoy it.! Hi from Guatemala! :D
beautiful moves
Great explanations. We enjoy doing fly drills on our channel
Appreciate it! Love the drills and your video production skills. Keep them coming!
Splendid! Great video and strokes. Really impressive to be honest. I'm gonna a start swimming everyday now and this video pretty much inspired me to do so.
Regards!
I like the forward head shot on the stroke. You can really see how the hands pull and then push the water back. It's tricky for me to get the rhythm of the stroke right. It gives me a sore back... so I've tended to shy away from it.
We are glad you liked it. Front view definitely gives it a bit different perspective on the stroke. Thank you for sharing the video!
This looks difficult as fuck. Hahahahaha
it is
Thank you so much! I did great at Sectionals 27.10 butterfly in the 200 Medley Relay. (: Thanks for videos!
I did butterfly at a meet a week ago, and I was recorded while I swam. I compared myself to the swimmer that made first place, and let's just say I need a LOT of work.
I often watch the recording so I can study her technique, and from what I saw, she didn't come up to breathe as much as I did. Does it make you faster if you don't come up to breathe as much? Another question: My arms looked very sloppy when I swam because I was so tired. How can I keep my arms nice and tense, while still having a decent amount of energy left?
Thanks for sharing your experience. Usually less breaths the better as breathing takes time. On the other hand, without oxygen muscles get tired faster. You need to find the perfect balance for you, however, we recommend to breath every other or third stroke on the hundred fly.
Your arms might look sloppy because there's not enough support from your lower body (strong second kick that supports your arms and help them to get out of water much easier). In general, butterfly is a very hard stroke but if you utilize the power of video and analyze your technique weekly, you can improve your technique and speed fairly quick.
SwimTechnique TV Thank you so much! This is very helpful advice, and I love your videos! :)
***** Haha oh yeah! I'm pretty sure the swimmer is not a girl!
***** I was talking about the video of the girl I was swimming against in the meet.
I can't do butterfly myself but yes, in practice not going up to breath saves you a lot of time.
Omg you are good hopefully I can soon hold my breath as long as you
SwimTechnique TV I started swimming classes about a month and a half ago and i was recently put on a swim team because the coach says i swim well but I can't swim as good as you and im 16 years old, am i too late to be a good swimmer and compete? I feel like i'm not the best swimmer but i want to be.
Frank Risco It's never too late but what we can say is that coach has a strong belief in YOU! Work hard and you'll achieve your goals. We will also be here to help if you have any questions. Thanks for watching our videos and best of luck in swimming.
Thank you so much for your time and support, I will keep working on becoming better!
i always swim after soccer practice as a means to cool my muscles. The water is an excellent therapy. It also helps me exercise more with out hurting myself. As an athlete I need to stay in shape at all times.
Hey . .That was so easy!!!to watch .
when i try this in the pool . . WTF i nearly death!!!!
Can you tech me how to swim it??master
how to swing like that ?? you move your body or your leg ??
Thanks for your feedback. Butterfly isn't an easy stroke and requires proper coordination between your arms and legs. It's also important that you learn the drills first and then move on to building the right technique.
Great video! Thank you! One thing I was going to point out though is that you seem to enter a little close out in the front. If you notice the footage of you swimming straight on your hands enter, pause, spread then catch. If you enter a little farther apart you could get to the catch faster and speed the stroke up. Just something I noticed and not tying to be mean. Any swimmer can take a pointer thats why Im watching this in the first place because I need the help myself! Thank you!!
This is my final class in my swimming classes
Thanks for posting this,
I had swim practice today and the last things I need to get are my back strokes,
treading water, and my butterfly.
haha i practice everyday for 3 hours, so my next practice hopefully I'd be a pro thanks to this. :)
sociallyawkward Great to hear you like swimming!
I have a swim meet tomorrow and if I don't make it regionals I will be mad. I swim butterfly
Good luck! Let us know how you did!
SwimTechnique I'm on the high school swim team now and I'm about to swim 100 butterfly, my coach said I need to work on my kick😂
+Meg beauty101 Was the coach more specific? Usually you can drop times by improving underwater dolphin kick or making the second kick stronger so you can support your arms better, or sometimes achieve the right the balance between arms and legs, etc. Anyway, good luck with that 100 fly and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
thanks to you now i know how to swim butterfly.
i realized that the secret of swimming is lay in muscles. if your muscles are stronge you will don't have any issue
Flexibility is a very important factor in swimming as well :) Thanks for stopping by and watching!
it seems that i have neither :/ I will stick to the back swimming :p
Vito Otiv / well I'm not. Sry strong😂
after a month I am doing very well now .. yo are right its about flexibility and stamina .. also it become better after quit smoking
@Saulo Carvalho The button of the pool looks different because the direction of the swimmer is in meters where as the original direction of the pool is yards. The deeper part of the pool is designed for diving. Thanks for watching.
SwimTechnique TV heyy swimtech i have a question, that pool is of 25m or yards?
+MakeItReal GT GAMING And?I learnt how to swim butterfly at around 11 years (I had a personal trainer) now I'm 13.At your age you can swim butterfly...
+SwimTechnique TV actually i can do but only my legs are wrong. Also,butterfly uses more power and loss energy much more than other styles.Now i know how to do my legs. :D
How can I move my body like that !
+Chilly Latte lol
Its called practice.. After 12 years of swimming i cant tell you how easy it is to do it.. Probably the easiest and most fun thing
Keen Observer what are your times in 200 free and any of your best events
+Alpha Sock hey, long distance was never my strong point, i was a short distance horse ( thats what my coach called me) but ive done even 1500m sprints so.... Its been 4-5 years since i have properly timed myself in long distance sprints.. But il tell you whatever i know.. Earlier - 25 m freestyle -12 sec. 50 free - 31 sec. 100 free - 1: 04. 200m free - 2:10.. Every other stroke was a few seconds more since freestyle was my fastest... Now my timings in 25m free are 14sec and 50m are 35... Working on that, will slowly move to other strokes and distances n time them too..
Keen Observer dang (before I say my times I will say I've swam for 4 years and that I am also aware I'm a bit on the bragging side) I'm more of a distance swimmer btw 200m free-2:14 200yd free- 1:58 200m IM- 2:33 500yd free- 5:18 400m free-4:45.99 800&1500 I have times but they suck because I've only swam those once and kind of leisurely 50m free-28.68 50 yd free 25.11
Now then...
This video does not show what is a real challenge of the butterfly stroke, that is the breathing part. You easily lose the momentum when you emerge to catch the air and any semi pro swimmer knows what I am on about.
I taught myself to swim a full butterfly stroke and I am able to do 25 m with 6 strokes without breathing.
Any time I try to emerge, say every second stroke the glide is hampered and instead of doing the length in 6 strokes I need at least 8.
Would love to see your full butterfly that includes the breathing part.
Brilliant video and the swimmer as well.
Aw, man. This isn't right making us feel bad like this. Do you know what this guy looks like, compared to us trying to do it??? 😢
+mariideen The point of the video is not to make anyone feel bad about his/her swimming technique but simply to demonstrate the ability of human body. Nobody is great at butterfly at first but through learning and hard work anyone can achieve success. Thanks for watching the video!
SwimTechnique TV sorry about that! I was actually being facetious 😊. I do think a side by side, him vs. those of us just learning to do fly would be hilarious.
That said, I am doing much better, just need to master breathing now and not get so tired! My favorite thing today was to scull the way he does before a length and then push off the wall. It gets frustrating at times but I do love swimming 😍
Thank you for your video!
I just dont understand who the hell disliked this awesome video?!
I'm interested in butterfly because of free
+Gildarts Clive Go for it! Thanks for watching!
Lmao same after watching free i'm all into swimming
SAME AHA
Thats awesome! Make sure to always use two kick per stroke in butterfly. The first one during the catch phase and second one during the finish phase. Second kick should be a little bit stronger!
how to swim like a fish
I'm trying to teach myself how to do the butterfly and this video helped me out! thanks.
Please make the same video with a woman.
Thanks for your advice! We will consider making another butterfly swimming video!
You are welcome! This is a good question. Yes, in butterfly you should use two kicks per one arm stroke, it's more effective. However how powerful each of them should be moderate by swimmer, you have to feel comfortable and more effective.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
I noticed the freestyle arms and butterfly legs but haven't seen that before. I'll have to try that.
Thanks!Now that i'm on level 4 they teach you that!Thanks,now I'll be working hard for my swimming test :).
your shape was on 🔑 key and your arch shaped back was just perfect for the motion of fly. I'm a competitive swimmer for T.Y.S and butterfly is my best stroke. yesterday I had a meet and I got second but it was open and I was racing a boy who was 15 so I thought I did pretty good👍👍👍
+SWIM LIFE with the KINGS Awesome! We are glad you did well! If you don't mind asking, what butterfly race did you do?
Your back really shouldn't hurt. But it is normal for your feet to drop if your timing isn't right. Which could cause backpain, but it really shouldn't be an intense pain. I use two kicks per stroke, wether I'm doing a one-arm drill or not. But that's just how I learned. I was taught to make an hour-glass shape when I pull down, which was why my timing was off. You SHOULD make an hour-glass shape, but it will happen on it's own. :)
@lovelovelovelovegod Thank you for you question! If you`re pretty flexible, you can try placing your arms a little bit closer on the catch just like the swimmer on the video. We found it very helpful. However, if it slows you down and hurts your shoulders, you might wanna stick with your current technique.
I legit saw a merman’s tail, but I relooked and they changed back to legs gah! Your a merman now.
Well, 7 strokes after 15 meters underwater... :)
I thanks also the cybercoaching in swim. I had no school at that and I challenge who wants to fly - needs energy but not so tough as propelled - a beautiful style, most relaxing, I'm 38 and I learned in two months.
the best butterfly video I've ever seen!
damn... i joined school's swimming team about a month and a half ago. still working on getting my techniques right. this is crazy fast
I THINK I got the technique right :) My friend recorded me while swimming and it looks really similar to this video. I will practice. Thanks for the vid :)
Hands down this video is the best without words!!
That is the most graceful god damn thing I have ever seen.
such a beautiful swimmer. makes it look effortless.
Alfred, you can do some abs workout, practice more underwaters, and drills (most of them can be found in our Butterfly Swimming Playlist).
We glad to hear that! Thank you!
Wow awesome! I'm actually a good swimmer myself, but this is flawless..
WOW! that is amazing!!! I am trying very hard to learn the butterfly because i think i have mastered the dolphin kick. I just finished level 10 so i want to learn more and keep doing swimming!
Hi there, some weeks ago I asked about dolphin kick.
Well, always I feel unsure about if I'm doing 1 or 2 kick.... today I was training mixed (3x100) progressing and in the last one my 25 butterfly was so good that I could really felt 2 strong kick!! It was so good for me. Thanks again for your video
After a while you can "count" your strokes, based on your dolphin kicks. I believe the dolphin kick is KEY, otherwise your "count" will be off. I started off picking how many kicks before surfacing and then counting to the wall for the turn. After a while, you don't think about it, yet I'm still counting automatically.
Crazy how that happens!
Let's face the fact: It's probably the best Butterfly Swimming video on RUclips!
Nice vid, thanks. This is the only style that I failed to learn, but my technique was all wrong, thanks for the video.
For some reason this was sooo entertaining :)
you're dolphin kick is so quick!! the video definitely helped me thanks
Yay he did a drill and also I watch these vids so I get better at swimming and doing stuff
