I'm guilty of swimming butterfly to impress non-swimmers and look stylish at the pool.

[@Mateuszyk]

i also do it but to impress life guards

[@mikelochoa4494]

Me too

[@rosin_eater]

lmaoo same

[@andystakauskas453]

These people came up too me after swimming it and they said you should be in Tokyo right now

[@tarunkurkal326]

I am a lifeguard, and I immediatly like people more when I see them swim Butterfly

[@gybx4094]

I learned Butterfly at age 57 and I'm 63 now. I can do the racing method, but sometimes I take it easier and more relaxed. We always want the best technique, but we don't need to perform Butterfly at a sprint pace. There are people who do long distance (10km) open water Butterfly. They use more momentum (gliding). We shouldn't limit ourselves just because we're not Olympians.

I am also 58 year old and started to learn butterfly stroke

[@scottsdalevista]

@@prabhakarpatil7311 Please check out the Shaw method for butterfly for a non competitive butterfly that conserves energy

[@PierreJennihey-taxi]

@@scottsdalevista Nice for the long distance. But I discovered that I need to tighten my full body in order to stay as flat as possible like a board with very small amplitude of movements. That helps a lot for performance but requires a lot of energy just to stay stiff. The opposite of the Shaw method.

[@Falquiboy]

10km butterfly? What in the world? no way that is true

[@SPaleocrassas]

Everyone on my swim team groans when we have a fly set (as do I) but for some reason once you get good enough at it, a 50 fly is probably the most fun event there is to swim!

I can confirm 100% what you said here. I experience all these sensations and thoughts. I've got the same insights. And I spent nearly 40 years thinking butterfly wasn't for me. Now I'm mad about butterfly.

[@SkillsNT]

Thanks for the comment!

[@company3076]

@@SkillsNT yes, when I started boring with freestyle I started butterfly - and I’m best in it in my pool (cause nobody else can do it)

[@winterdogmusic]

I swim butterfly long distance for fitness. I swim 2 k butterfly non stop at medium pace, sometimes in training, and you enter a trance like state where you feel like you are almost a dolphin.I do butterfly because it feels the best, is the most challenging, and gets the lats and shoulders thick and my core is getting super strong too. I used to have back pain before butterfly, no more.

[@univision1489]

Impressive . Keep it up

[@Falquiboy]

2k butterfly holy shit

[@cannonball9478]

Do you also get the urge to chomp small fishies? lol jk that feat you did is very impressive!

[@captainobvious8037]

I would have never expected to read "perfect exercise" and "butterfly" in the same sentence.

[@mrexcadrill8474]

I remember when I was doing my coaching courses after swimming for years. 200 fly was my event and when I was told by the mentor that he made some poor kid to do 3 k of fly to prove a point I thought he was mad. Tried it the session after and realised it was horrible till after 400 m and then you just sort of carry yourself through. I will always love fly with all my heart

[@winterdogmusic]

Once you get into it you can go forever. You can't do 3k as fast as freestyle but 3 k butterfly is more tiring and I feel my rib cage literally growing.

[@Bandhanudeshi2729]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FO THIS GOOD ADVICE ON BUTTERFLY KEEP POSTING MORE ON BUTTERFLY

[@marilynstrube4970]

It is so true that learning the correct technique is good for your mental health! I'm 60 and decided about a year ago to learn to do butterfly correctly. It has been such a fun challenge. I studied lots of youtube videos and bullt a list of things I needed to focus on. It took some time to get it to all come together but I kept getting better and it became easier and easier. I got to a stage when occasionally I knew I nailed it perfectly but I wasn't consistent. That came with practice and now I doing it nearly perfectly every time.

[@low_senz2241]

when I first join a swim team I hated butterfly even nowadays, but after I watched ur video I understand everything. thank you so much

[@FullaTeeth]

The most beautiful stoke!

[@andreawallenberger2668]

I 💖 'fly. I learned it literally at Arnold Schwarzenegger's gym in Austria when I was just 11 years old. (Before that my home summer swim team in Delaware had me competing breast- & backstroke.) When I came back home I became the summer "womens" 'fly champ and anchored the medley, pinch hitting free. Yes, I was 12. 12-16 also choreographed and ran the annual summer water ballet. Now I'm almost 60 and overweight but happy to be back to the pool here north of Baltimore. I do medleys just for fun/cardio, tire out fast, my flips are totes shot to hell, but I still have good form!

[@JKDOOF]

i used to hate butterfly bc i didnt know how to swim it but with time i learned it , it becames my favorite and it is the most beautiful stroke

[@NEMEPOLYNHA]

Man, you've helped me a lot, since I started swimming in october last year. Thanks!

[@PierreJennihey-taxi]

Thanks to your previous advices, I managed to swimm butterfly with much less breathing problems since I kept the air during three strokes. Not only have I a better buoyancy, but I do not need to get my head out to breathe and can concentrate on the movements and keep my body horizontal.

[@SkillsNT]

Nice! Good job doing it!

[@PierreJennihey-taxi]

There is more. As I use a Finis Duo (music through bone induction) keeping the air gives me more sound clarity. Less bubbles, shorter expiration.

[@Dionysion]

[@robindong3802]

you are a lovely and very professional coach. I just improved my freestyle by watching your video, much faster and easy. Now I guess I have a new goal to pursue -- butterfly!

[@33fa]

I was fat as fuck, 120kg, got a little thinner (102kg) and started swimming less than 5 months ago. Since then I've lost almost 30kg and for the last 3 weeks i've been practising butterfly swimming, last day I did a 25m pool in 26seconds which I think its awesome, Im still trying to get a good technique but I'm so happy I found swimming

[@rodneyleonard8453]

One year of consistent Butterfly swimming has made every thing else in the water elementary.

[@rodneyleonard8453]

Up to 150 meter without stopping and doing 5 to 10 50 meter sets each Butterfly workout at age 53 and it has totally reshaped my body from 6'1 245 to 175. Another added plus swimming has totally put in remission my battle with borderline Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, anxiety, and depression....Swim Fast!!!

[@TheRock-xj7hs]

Oh that gets me so juiced up! Swimming for the last 62 years of my life 99.9% crawl,Always making minute corrections. Couldn’t live without it. Butterfly, gets me so jazzed!

[@swthelostarchives]

I find that focusing in moving forward helps your balance, makes u faster and reduces injury. If you u do the opposite of this (focusing on pushes up to take a breath) you will lose balance, sink too deep, slow down and raise your head/shoulders too high. At the end of the day you should feel kinda flat and very loose, making sure to maintain a fast rhythm.

[@billparker244]

Thank you! I'm currently teaching myself butterfly and this was very informative. I'll put it to good use.

[@bacsi91]

Thank you for sharing with us your passion! Your videos help me so much improving my swimming skills. Thank you from Viet Nam!

Freestyle feels boring when u learn how to do butterfly properly and for long distances. Butterfly is tough but that's why it feels so good when u are able to improve on it

[@Grivian]

Interesting. I've always laughed at butterfly swimming for being the only type of swimming that is absolutely pointless. It is not the fastest, it is not energy efficient. In fact, the opposite.

[@Sangeychhonjin]

Lots of love from Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, India 🙂💜

[@zeking3844]

What I "came up" with is that sometimes I am fighting with the water when swimming butterfly and get exhausted easily even though I have been swimming it for some time.Then I kinda reflect and ty to feel the flow of the water and align with it. And after that reflection points I have swum the smoothest butterflies

[@davidruiz8949]

Great video, there just one problem on the CC, there are not synchronized

[@miketurany2082]

If you wanna watch a video that will get your stoked about swimming this is the 1 that you wanna watch!! Even though I don't do any butterfly stroke the same examples you pointed out in this video can be said for the reverse dolphin kick. I love to swim, I do it everyday for at least an hour if not more. I want to learn butterfly its just I like to breath and I'm afraid of sucking in water if my Rhythm and flow are off. Fear is the mind killer I'm just showing the world of what a big old puss puss I am. Who needs to breathe?😀

[@kirayoshikage1491]

I love butterfly but I can’t do more than a 25 or 50 before getting too much asthma to go on. It just hits the lungs worse than the rest

[@parkkeechan]

I fell into love with this video.

[@robohippy]

Well, on an 'okay, if you swim the fly, I will try your side stroke', I swan the fly for the first time in probably 50 years. Loved it when I was younger because it was a superb power stroke, and I had power to spare. Can barely get my arms up out of the water now. Made 6 lengths of the 25 yard pool. Yup, it burns a lot of energy, and makes the muscles sore. Tried again on day 2, and had trouble getting my arms to clear on the recover. Going to be part of my daily swim now.... I really have a lot of ab/core work to do.... Side note Raul, did you notice that there were 2 distinct styles of breast stroke at the Olympics? One was more a rapid beat/stroke count, and the other was a longer glide stroke. A lap pal, whose stroke is the breast stroke pointed it out to me, and I went home to watch the US qualifying IM for women. More of a difference with the women than with the men...

[@robohippy]

Well, part 2.... Been getting a couple of laps in per day now, and have the timing back some what. My lap pal/coach wanted me to do a skulling drill. He is only 63... He commented that this is how it is done. So, I came home and watched a bunch of butterfly videos, and of course saw a bunch of different arm pull variations, but no one really talked about your arm pull path shall we call it. Found one with Michael Phelps from 2008 and his hands entered the water fairly wide, like maybe a little wider than his shoulders. Saw one European champion who entered with hands closer to the center line and actually sculled out a bit. Saw several others who whose hands entered close to center line and would pull out slightly , pull in closer to the body at mid point, then out wider at the finish, kind of like an hour glass. Seem to be many on freestyle, but kind of lacking on butterfly.

[@ethanlong4670]

I know of a guy who swam in 13 mph water doing butterfly strokes. He stayed in the water for around an hour.

Use butterfly every training for last five months. The aim is to swim one hundred. But I still don’t know how to get it…

[@company3076]

Yes I can swim fifty with a clear technique and once I did 75… but 100 seems impossible ((

[@Majtro]

Practise with fins to build up an endurance and after few weeks you can get there. Your legs use so all of your energy. Trust me just build it up and eventually you will get there

[@Martin-wv3nc]

When you are racing the one hundred becomes so much easier to swim because of the raised adrenaline but, the best way to go for it would be to start swimming 50’s of fly a little slower than your 50 time. Now when you are doing this make sure you are doing lots of them and also focus on what Robert said as well

[@company3076]

@@Martin-wv3nc yep thanks, that's what I'm doing

[@company3076]

@@Majtro thank you Robert, every workout I do the "candle" exercise - vertically in the water, with dolphin legs, the arms are crossed on the chest. three minutes each (based on ~100 meters butterfly). Good work for legs and core muscles.

[@michaelcorleone2794]

I swim in open sea, whenever I use my legs, no matter what style. I tent to slow down, only speed and endurance boost us when I cross my legs so it doesn't slow me aerodynamically. So does this video apply to that?

[@meghdaniellama1604]

Look at your technique, if your ankle is stiff people tend to bend at the knee which creates a lot of drag resulting in slowing you down. When people cross their leg the legs sink, the reason why your leg isn’t sinking and creating a hydrodynamic drag might be because your wearing those full body suit that triathlon ppl where which makes the body float including the feet.
