2 Secrets To Swimming Butterfly Like Michael Phelps and Caeleb Dressel

As a kid growing up I used to study the best swimmers and what they did so that I could copy them . What I found is that when swimming butterfly, the great like Michael Phelps and Caeleb Dressel do something very interesting when they breathed and also with their chest when they pulled. These two simple things that can improve your butterfly I have dubbed the "chin lift" while breathing and the "chest dip" while pulling in this video. The techniques taught in this video when I first implemented them in my own stroke as a swimmer dropped my 100 yard butterfly down from a 1:01 to a :55 . Remember to be patient in your stroke when focusing on new aspects of your butterfly , I'm confident these techniques will help things click and you will truly fly!

I was the closest man in the world to the Olympic trials cut to not have it in 2020. Broke my heart. Thank you thank you kind sir. I will be using this shit at 6 am tomorrow to get ready for big ten champs. I want to go 53.5 and take home my state record for my club coach so bad as well as get the trials cut. Will post update when I do.

Impressive stuff , wish you all the best!

Shared with the hs swimmer who was too rigid with his fly and needed to “ see” what the forward motion should be like. His was more vertical instead of being horizontal/parallel with the water. That dolphin kick should help to get that dolphin motion.. Incredibly helpful video for how to smooth out the stroke. Good job!!!!

It’s painful when you sprint with this, but the outcomes are amazing! Took me a little while to grasp this technique, but I’ve got it down. I’m 13 and fly is my stroke. Hopefully I can go sub 1:00 for my 100m fly next meet! Thanks for the video!

Haha appreciate the compliment, a big fan of swimming and since I was a kid have been studying it...thanks for watching!

[@babackd.6485]

@@siskatrainingsystems9542 yeah, I started swimming two months ago and since I go deep into details like you do, I'm already at butterfly. I tried to do this hopping motion with my chin touching the surface of the water yesterday and then dipped my head and chest down to create that undulating movement, and I gotta say, it's really difficult, considering I can't breathe properly yet. I'm literally out of breath in 10 meters 😅

[@siskatrainingsystems9542]

Fantastic progress! Well don't get ahead of yourself, master the simpler techniques first so that the more advanced will be easy...have a great vid on how to breathe on this channel...it can help you💪 keep up the great work

¡Excelentemente bien ejemplificado Lucas! Practicar el movimiento fuera del agua me dió otra perspectiva de cómo coordinar todos los movimientos a la vez. Y por supuesto que practicaré primero ese ejercicio antes de nadar mi mariposa. Saludos. 💦

Thanks for watching ! Not sure exactly what you mean, what part of the video are you talking about?

[@kentajin7860]

@@siskatrainingsystems9542 he's talking about the hands movement of yours!

[@tomatomb8704]

You did a difefrent motion in the pool then on land. In the pool you basically did butterfly body/kick with the chin up the whole time which is not only damn near impossible but a good way to mess up your spine. I'm convinced that nobody on youtube actually knows how to teach Butterfly :-/

[@siskatrainingsystems9542]

Don't be so negative man, the point of the land demonstration was to show the rhythm , of course it's different in the water...copy that motion on land and in the water the two beat kick will develop, I've had great success with many swimmers trying to learn butterfly this way...

[@tomatomb8704]

@@siskatrainingsystems9542 I try not to, I'm just a realist. I appologise if i come across as negative. I'm a swimming teacher myself and I'm sick of seeing people throw their money away to people who haven't got a clue and practices that simply don't work. I'm not saying yours don't by the way . If you could send a video of one of your students doing fly that would be great!

[@siskatrainingsystems9542]

@@tomatomb8704 no worries , I see the passion coming through and that's great! This vid is more geared towards competitive swimmers and not so much people learning to swim butterfly for the first time, though complete newbies can gain from this video as well...for those new to butterfly I would suggest watching from 5:30 in this video...there you will also see one of my clients ... keeping it simple is the key ...chest down but goes up ...then repeat and repeat some more ..once you catch that rhythm slowly start adding the arms within the same rhythm...all the best!

[@christistruth3112]

swim emgkand say push chin but it isnt its a lift

[@siskatrainingsystems9542]

Exactly!

[@user-fj4sz5wf1p]

Looks kind of un-natural to use so much energy with the arms to pull your body out of the water and then kick. Should it be the kick to propel you out of the water?

[@siskatrainingsystems9542]

Exactly the arms have nothing to do with pulling the arms out of the water it's the undulation of the body that causes all this and the arms and legs just follow ..
