butterfly for older swimmers

Why is it that often older people do a version of butterfly that looks very beautiful but leisurely, like water ballet as my coach says? What is it that we lack that prevents us from doing an energetic, aerobic looking butterfly. My coach says the snap of the legs will do it and I am working on that. Anything else? Thanks

  • You have always been able to use the frog kick with butterfly in Masters swimming. It counts for Masters world and national records. You can switch between dolphin and breaststroke kick as much as you want, but if you're using breaststroke kick you can only take one kick off the start and turns.
