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!
Watch youtube videos of great butterflyers. especially underwater
then copy their technique
Get one on one lessons from a good swimmer/instructor/coach
they can watch you swim and give you specific pointers then watch you attempt to do them, & give you more pointers
you need to learn what right feels like
Read Swim Faster faster & apply a few ideas to your training
make a video of you swimming fly
put it on youtube, then
provide a link here and
ask folks to watch and give you suggestions
Lift weights to get stronger
Swim often to get in better shape, train mostly freestyle,
work to improve your dolphin kick
Improve your streamline dolphin kick (SDK)
Have some one time you for a 25 fly swim and 25 SDK
tell us what they are
