Hey Guys!
So I've been trying to work on my technique this summer and I've made a lot of progress in my freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke mainly because I've been working with an instructor. However, we didn't have a chance to get to butterfly, and I'm really considering joining a local club team in the fall, but I don't want to embarrass myself by being unable to swim this stroke at all.
Anyway, I was hoping that you guys may be able to tell me how I should go about teaching myself and what things to really be careful about. If you guys have any videos that you think are really good, I'd love to see those too.
Thanks!
Go ahead and join your local club/team. Who cares if you cannot do the Butterfly. If you join your local club/team then you can obtain some coaching in this area.
It took me a year to teach myself Butterfly. Its not the best Butterfly in the world, but I won't get DQ'd doing it.
You took lessons, that's great. I've never had a swim lesson. I taught myself Butterfly by watching other swimmers underwater, watching Butterfly videos on U-Tube, asking a lot of questions of my fellow swimmers who swim Butterfly. Then just go out and do it. Practice, practice, practice. It will come to you, just give it time.
Good luck.
