Leave the comment if you would like that I do butterfly technique lessons covering basics as learning how to kick, arm stroke, body movements, breathing and gliding!
This is sure one of the best butterfly video on youtube. Its propably too much to ask...I have 11 year old daughter who competes in swimming, her favourite swim style is freestyle and butterfly. But when it comes to butterfly she always feels she can do better. He current time for 100m fly is 1.13. Would you be kind enough to have a look at her underwater footage and point out mistakes and make some suggestions how to fix them. She would really approciate your help. ruclips.net/video/sOkmoTNyzBY/видео.html
The hardest part for me is the timing between kick and arm stroke. I tend instinctively to kick ad the beginning of the stroke instead of the end, and it's hard to find a way to change that
What has been the most difficult to me ? Well, before internet, there was a lack of "good examples"... I mean, someone to follow and to imitate. And as you say, there are less people who even try, and still less who "dare to share their experience, and their tips"... so, one day I came to the swimming pool, and I saw a whole group of swimmers, swimming the butterfly with fins ! So I tried, and it is much easier to applicate all those "good advices" you share in this video. Then, I begun to feel the water ! The second point I find difficult is to breathe every two movements... I can do it for ten to fifteen strokes, but not more. After that, I have to breathe every stroke, which is much more energy spending ! Last, but not least, I focus much more on butterfly than before, which helps to develop "variations in techniques", as, for example, only one legs movement per arms movement. I'd like to give one important precision, about arms movement: when your arms reach the level of your shoulders, you have to do a pronation, so as your hand palms are parallel to the water ! And it much more than a detail: it is much, much easier and efficient ! So, it has to be said, and done !
Best explanation from someone who really mastered fly❤ It’s crucial to focus on forward momentum when shoulders are out of the water and when head goes down, concentrate on hips not to sink which can be done only with arms fully stretched above the head - along the surface rather than sunk down
That's competition style butterfly perfectly. If you want to do open water long distance style, then use momentum and simply glide longer to conserve energy. In open water, you can also perform a double-dolphin quick-kick to get more leg drive. It all depends on your goals and application. It still requires all the good techniques being demonstrated.
Nice video. I learned butterfly on my own. Started by doing the dolphin kicks first. Then with that went on to do the butterfree. That set the tempo for me to do the complete butterfly. “Kick the hands in, then kick the hands out.”
yes! this is the ONLY video ive seen that shows proper and teaches your proper butterfly! i already know hiw to do butterfly but this is really good for teaching people how to.
Very helpful videos! I especially like that you clearly show the incorrect swimming techniques, with the swimmer in the water, and showing poolside exercises as well as in the water form is also good. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Most difficult in Butterfly is the rhythm of the whole stroke. Individually, one can be good at the arm strokes & dolphin kicks however they still don't work to complete the whole butterfly stroke. To stitch the whole stroke together ,finding the right rhythm for the dolphin kicks & the arm stroke is of utmost importance for a flawless butterfly...
Butterfly is simple easy and natural just the instructors make it difficult by saying do this to breathe etc while the fact is when you pull the water, the arm position automatically pushes your head bit forward making a breath easy. Similarly, they keep saying the kick should be initiated by the hips or core . It's all incorrect. Of course the kick comes from the mid body how can you kick only by ankles? . It's as difficult as any other stroke in the beginning till you get a hang of it. The only thing truly challenging is because this stroke is mostly fully maneuvered by arms, lots of energy is used and heart rate gets high quickly.
Gracias a este canal he aprendido a nadar mariposa, aún me falta un poco para presumir que ya sé, sobretodo la práctica constante, les repito gracias a Uds, especialmente a Eugeny Lomtev, seguí sus ejercicios y las prácticas, una a una y siento que por ellas he logrado que mi cuerpo tenga los movimientos adecuados y me deslice con facilidad, les reitero las gracias y bendiciones 😘
I feel that the hardest part was the key hole part. Because you must do it as soon as your hands enter the water. If you do it any later then you will go vertical and your stroke will be off.
Very interesting video. I was surprised when you said that the arms are so important in the butterfly. When I first started doing the butterfly my coach said focus first to the kick movement. Once I started showing good propulsion with my kick he told me then to start using my arms while doing the butterfly. Now the arm movements are important but as a beginner the kick was more important! Do you agree with it? Butterfly is an amazing stroke! I do not manage it well yet so I still practice a lot of kicking. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah, I totally agree with it. But the most important in butterfly are body movements. I have made butterfly swimming lessons where I teach to do each technical elements of butterfly, starting from body movements, then learning to kick, performing the arm stroke and finally to breathe and do hand recovery. Thank you for your amazing comment!
I'm working on my butterfly so had someone film me while swimming. In comparing with online videos like this one, I noticed my arm stroke was off. I wasn't pulling through. Now I get much more propulsion. Every part is important.
It is difficult to get that's for sure. For a while I was rotating my arms straight down and back out like a windmill. A friend recently corrected me to bend my elbows and do the "keyhole" shape. Although I had to relearn it, it does seem easier now.
Yes, the most difficult part, and the thing that I cannot find any video to address directly, is I have trouble getting my hands out of the water to swing them forward over the water. When I first start it seems like I'm doing okay, but very quickly, as I get tired, a wave starts to build up in front of me, and soon I completely failing to get my arms out of the water at all, and am actually dragging them forward UNDER the water. Getting the hands out of the water effortlessly in the recovery seems to be the biggest problem I have.
Es increíble lo fácil haces que parezca... pero cuando estoy en la alberca siento que se me sale el corazón, pero por fin veo los detalles más de cerca. Thanks
Thank you very much indeed for your useful information Please let us know more details about butterfly swimming and also how to do good butterfly stroke
Amazing video. Personally, my problem is that I do a dolphin kick with one foot, and then the other, so it seems like a freestyle kick from the outside. And I can't get the right timing of the kicking as well. ..
I find the most difficult part 🎉in butterfly,bringing the hands forward out of the water,i find it tough to raise my hands,as if the water stops my hands to move in the air
It s so usefull when I see it I can memorize the tecnique to act in water , but the hardest part of butterfly for me is to Coordinate and timing of the movement ( hands , wave and legs ) help me . Thanks
The most difficult part is te timing. This video may help. I also liked the Australian coach for kin\ds, swimfast, as he had a clear progression of assimilation of skills. My problem is that i kick hard during the pull phase, end of keyhole, and cant seem to get a second kick in. I will try only drills this month. But I do think you were clear about the timing, which very few videos are.
Besides Phelps' butterfly tutorial video, this is the second best tutorial video I have seen before. And by the way can I know the name of this fantastic Finnish swimmer name?
Thank you for your comment! It is really hard. Actually, in my 4th Butterfly lesson I talk about breathing when to lift the head up and when to put it down. Check it out!
Interesting how you call the 1st kick what i call the 2nd and the 2nd what I call the first. I thought the first was when the arms are out in front ready to catch
Thank you! I recommend teaching this step by step. First body movements, then kicks, after kicks arm stroke and so forth. On my channel you will find all these steps in butterfly lessons. For now, there is only first lesson on the channel
How much time do you think one should practice the dolphin kick before moving to the arm stroke? I feel that the dolphin kick is the most energy consuming part of the butterfly stroke but also the one that gives you the most propulsion when doing the stroke. Non of the videos say how much time and attention should you give in practicing each part of the stroke when learning and when you can move on to learning the arm stroke. I feel that if you don’t practice enough the dolphin kick you can never have a good butterfly since your kick is week and can’t support the hole body movment when doing the stroke. Am I wrong? When do you think it is ok to move on to learning the arm stroke? When one can do 50m of dolphin kick without break? Wish you can give us information on how many laps of dolphin kick should we do per 1h sesion, slow motion videos on arm stroke and breathing. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
The most difficult part is breathing. I have been trying to breathe by not dropping down much in the water but it is not working. My shoulders come out much while breathing. What can I do to correct it ?
use your mouth together with your nose to exhale out while underwater. If 1 stroke breathing is not enough time to exhale it all out, then breathe every 2 strokes. Also make sure while coming out to breathe you do not raise your head or your neck, your entire upper body starting from your shoulders should be above water and your head in a forward position instead of a high position, it should roughly be in line with your shoulders. Once you inhale thru your mouth start the undulation motion with your head facing downwards towards the pool floor.
Try one arm fly AND let your chest drop as you have one arm extended and one arm doing the fly - with your body and breathing slightly to that side - do a whole length right then a whole length left. Later try 3 left 3 right breathing every stroke then do three strokes both arms holding the breath. The head DOES go further down than you are imagining. See: ruclips.net/video/2BwpI0glRdU/видео.html
the most difficult is to count 1st kick and 2nd kick while you are on the water...🤪. I tried it on the weekend, all teories in my head just made my dolphin style like robot in the water 😁😃
Hi ...im 6.4 tall and I have long harms ...how can i swim properly the butterfly in one lane when you got an idiot coming in the other way ... should I wait the idiot drown or wait he get out of my lane in order to execute the butterfly correctly or should I be able to adapt in any conditions. I'll have a tendency for the drowning option. Thank you in advance
I have a steady point while swimming butterfly. Just when my arms stretch forward before stroking, I have the perception my catch takes too long and the rhythme is slightly broken, despite the fact I do not swipe out my arms (if I do it is even worse). What do you suggest I should doing to correct my style? Kicking incorrectly might play a part on it? Thanks a lot
For me the biggest challenge is not to drop hips too low on the first kick. By the way almost all sources I know refer to what is called first kick in your video as a second kick and vice versa :)
I am not sure about other sources. To my mind, cycle in butterfly starts when arm stroke is started, thus, I call it "first kick" in the end of the stroke and the "second kick" when hands enter the water.
Swimmate, I beg to differ. It's noticeable here and in many other videos that knees are bent more during the arm stroke. Also the trace of bubbles is deeper.
Butterfly is matter of timing, body strength and flexibility. This stroke is the only one, that requires a minimum level of body fitness. Good knowledge of the technique will lead to nothing if not supported by a strong and fit body. You also have to keep focus high whilst performing the stroke. Even though, memorising the movements is vital to improve the stroke, a good Butterfly swimmer is the one that swims naturally and fluently without thinking if the arms or the legs are in the right point at the right time.
I partly agree with you. However, firstly, swimmer needs to set up the technique. Then he can perform all the movements automatically, without thinking.
@@SwimUp Sure.. I meant to say that when you feel this stroke very natural is because you are particularly adapt to swim it and swimming turns, for this reason, to be very natural. This happens to me.. I struggle to swim breaststroke but I feel fully comfortable with butterfly.
Keyhole catch is an outdated technique. Now it is more acceptable to land wide with your arms above your ears (think of the queue hands in last). Once your hands enter the water in the Y-shape, bend your elbows like you are hugging a large tube and pull straight through without forming the keyhole shape.
Hi swimmate. Nice video. My hips does not raise out of the water very much while swimming butterfly although they r not really sinking. What can I do to get my hips out more when swimming butterfly
To make the hips high you have to make the undulation which means letting the head and chest (but not the arms ) sink as you kick into arms forward. To get the rhythm watch tis one arm drill. All my kids do this one: ruclips.net/video/2BwpI0glRdU/видео.html
I have all the time impression that I glide too long (and doing : kick KICK pause... kick KICK pause etc ) but having a good timing at the same time (I think ). I don't know if I do it correctly. All my swimming seems to be ok. I don't get tired or anything. I try to work on my better timing but not sure if it is nescessery. How can I know that the timing is not correct? When I watch the professional swimers I don't see any pause between arm movements...
of course I don't have any coach who could help me, it is expensive and in my age (33 years old) they even don't want to waste their time on me so I have to practise alone without a coach.
Leave the comment if you would like that I do butterfly technique lessons covering basics as learning how to kick, arm stroke, body movements, breathing and gliding!

for me at the age of 72 i've just learned it, it is putting my head deep into the water.
Is this the key
The most difficult part is the harmony between the first leg kick and the movement of the arms. I am grateful
Exactly, I get tired in butterfly from the first 50 meters

breathing during the stroke seems quite difficult how do breathe efficiently without getting tired
Great explanation, thanks!
Thank you!
Just for you to know that it is not a circle ⭕️ but is a 🔑 key shaped hole to unlock the door 🚪.
Huh, excellent technique and real fast! Who is the great swimmer?
It is Finnish best butterfly swimmer
Besides Phelps' butterfly tutorial video, this is the second best tutorial video I have seen before. And by the way can I know the name of this fantastic Finnish swimmer name?
His name is Riku Pöytäkivi
The most difficult part is the head position when breathing. It is very hard to find the correct timing of heading out and going into the water.
Thank you for your comment! It is really hard. Actually, in my 4th Butterfly lesson I talk about breathing when to lift the head up and when to put it down. Check it out!
I actually don't know why but once I get the timing it uses slightly less effort than freestyle
Like I don't feel tired as much as freestyle
Interesting how you call the 1st kick what i call the 2nd and the 2nd what I call the first.

I breath every stroke and i can breath every other stroke. i find that breathing every stroke gives me better momentum. Which style do you recommend?

when you come across another swimmer you simply do one arm butterfly

I had that problem. now i lifted up my arms on the sides of my body instead of pushing your hands all the way to hips.
I am a butterfly beginner. Found me run out if breath after 20 arm strokes. How can I improve breathing for swimming longer distance on butterfly?
Great video , the problem I'm facing in butyerfly is timing ..i think it needs more practice
Thank you! You can do it!
What is the good arms technique after recovery and entry to achieve fast tempo ?
Straight pull or the normal key hole
tkanks really

Swimmate, so is it 1st or 2nd kick stronger? On the video it looks like the 1st is - makes sense as it helps to lift up the body.
Maxtryk, the 2nd kick is stronger since amplitude is bigger. However, combination of the arm stroke and the 1st kick give a swimmer good speed.
Swimmate, I beg to differ. It's noticeable here and in many other videos that knees are bent more during the arm stroke. Also the trace of bubbles is deeper.
For me the most difficult thing is the timing of the kicks. My feet always coming out of the water, which shouldnt be it seems....?
Can you show us some drills for butterfly? Thanks!
Please check my butterfly lessons. I will do more videos about butterfly soon!
i found it's hard to lift the chin up during butterfly breathing, since it gives me discomfort in my neck... any suggestion for this ?
You have to keep the chin up. The more powerfully you do stroke the more above the water level you are going to get making breathing easier
Let the head be in wavelike motion. After entering, the head soon be lifted by waving as same moment EVF.
My biggest struggle is to keep the elbow up, actually at the end of the training i can feel how the inner elbow is exhausted
Yeah, I can image! Thats great that you are focusing on it while swimming. Check out my butterfly swimming lessons for more tips!
Could you show us some drills?..it is a very complicated stroke..and specific drills may be helpful.
Yeah sure, I will make butterfly lessons

@@SwimUp Sure.. I meant to say that when you feel this stroke very natural is because you are particularly adapt to swim it and swimming turns, for this reason, to be very natural. This happens to me.. I struggle to swim breaststroke but I feel fully comfortable with butterfly.
The most difficult movement for me in butterfly swimming is by far a quick out front catch.
Tomas Artinano thank for your comment! Try to work on your technique out of the pool.
how to do the legs like you. i video my butterfly. and saw my foots are out of water. i want it just like you. just break the surface.
oh. vien from in viet nam swm is very very easy
Hi Goodman
Keyhole catch is an outdated technique. Now it is more acceptable to land wide with your arms above your ears (think of the queue hands in last). Once your hands enter the water in the Y-shape, bend your elbows like you are hugging a large tube and pull straight through without forming the keyhole shape.
Wanted to say smth about this but bumped into your comment. I felt his hands are also stalling out in front. Is that normal for most fliers?
Hi swimmate. Nice video. My hips does not raise out of the water very much while swimming butterfly although they r not really sinking. What can I do to get my hips out more when swimming butterfly
To make the hips high you have to make the undulation which means letting the head and chest (but not the arms ) sink as you kick into arms forward. To get the rhythm watch tis one arm drill. All my kids do this one: ruclips.net/video/2BwpI0glRdU/видео.html
me resulta dificil llevar los brazos adelante , sin arrastrar agua y sin embargo todo el resto me sale bien
Most difficult is getting two kicks; I either kick at the beginning of the stroke or at the end but not both 🧐
the timing of the first kick, when the arms are finishing the key hole
I am having problem in key hole hand position , how much glide . And during first kick my upper body is not coming properly .
I think waist movement is the most difficult part to move
Yeah, it is. Also, it requires good body flexibility
I have all the time impression that I glide too long (and doing : kick KICK pause... kick KICK pause etc ) but having a good timing at the same time (I think ). I don't know if I do it correctly. All my swimming seems to be ok. I don't get tired or anything. I try to work on my better timing but not sure if it is nescessery. How can I know that the timing is not correct? When I watch the professional swimers I don't see any pause between arm movements...
of course I don't have any coach who could help me, it is expensive and in my age (33 years old) they even don't want to waste their time on me so I have to practise alone without a coach.
