Mr Average - Regular guy tries swimming against Olympic finalist Lewis Clareburt.

Tony Lyall race 100m butterfly against Olympic 400 metre individual medley finalist Lewis Clareburt to see how hard it really is. Filmed for The Project NZ

100M fly for a non swimmer is cruel and unusual punishment

[@mhmtgks1533]

pool is 25m

[@Ineddiblehulk]

It’s not a 25m pool. And even if it was, 100 fly for a non-swimmer hurts whether it’s SC or LC.

1:51 100 meter fly for not even swimming is like fucking insane just so y’all know

What do u mean not even swimming

Yeah i have a suspicion he has swam before, it take a while to learn butterfly for most people

[@omargadalla6681]

Little known fact; the butterfly stroke was invented by Thomas J. Butterfly when he thought, "there's got to be a way to swim across the pool that is 100x harder than freestyle, and also slightly slower."

[@ghp7382]

Tbh the first 50 of a hundred fly hurts less the the first 50 of a hundred free

[@seantheswimmer]

yeah the 100 free sucks but when i come off from the offseason 100 fly sucks ass. mental note to not take of 2 weeks every again. :>

[@loganpigliacampi]

LMAO

[@daquifa9981]

That split was insane

[@dank2112]

True, dude did a negative split 27.9 for first 50 and a 27.2 for next 50. Tbh he looked like he wasn't even trying

[@kokorofrost]

this just came up in my recommended and i love it 😂

[@erwinsaputra3645]

average guy can't even swim lol, he could swim the hardest style of swimming, he is definitely not an average guy

[@mas5986]

Yeah but actually his technique is not proper but for "average guy" he is good

[@amber_riquez2971]

Exactly

[@jateez8549]

1.51 is not bad for a non swimmer tho

[@xen2135]

100m fly is awful for a non swimmer what kind of torture is this

1:51.15 is a Phelpsian time...for a 200 fly.

dont diss the goat of the 2 fly🤫

[@Ad-pl9ww]

Here before this blows up

[@F_Bardamu]

Many swimmers don't even try to swim butterfly because it's considered difficult to master. So the whole "regular guy" concept in this footage is screwed up.

[@Nadal-]

I dont think the average guy knows how to swim butterfly

[@austecon6818]

100m fly is hard even for competitive swimmers tbh

[@Bald_MartinFN]

Not really

[@Adelaide672]

It's not hard it just sucks lol

[@nicholasarndt824]

He’s not even trying either

[@maraudingmamut6001]

He was trying for sure. It just looks effortless because his fly technique is straight gorgeous.

[@maraudingmamut6001]

He went ~55 mid which is a really fast time

[@nicholasarndt824]

@@maraudingmamut6001 yeah I meant to say he’s not going 100 percent. Obviously 55 mid is very fast but he’s probably much faster if I had to guess

[@NicolasMorus]

@@maraudingmamut6001 the difference between 100% and 90% max speed is the difference between 100% and 70% effort

[@brianmcd9492]

Swimming with bad- slip stream and average technique, expends more energy thus GREAT PREFORMANCE by Mr Average🙂 you definitely could Hit a 1min 30sec after some fine tuning swim skills👍

Average guys cannot swim butterfly

[@charlottedarby4429]

Guys it was only 50 😅

[@ukporkpie7829]

It was 100....an Olympian wouldn't do 57 sec for 50m!

clearly a 100m race.
