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!
I work with adult onset swimmers all the time. The best resource for learning butterfly from A to Z is the old book and video "Swimming Made Easy" from the folks at Total Immersion. You will need to check amazon and half.com for the out of print titles but it will be worth it.
As I said it is A to Z, you start here, then go to this then this and at the end you are swimming fly.
There isn't another source that puts it all in one place like this does. In fact their newer fly swim program from the same people isn't as good in my opinion. You can find lots of tips dozens of various drills, but to me this is the only thing to take someone starting from scratch and get them there.
Good luck, enjoy it.
