WIDE or NARROW on the butterfly pull?

How wide do you pull on butterfly?

The initial outsweep on butterfly is something that we see a lot of variance in with swimmers who come to us.

Here’s what we’ve noticed with the best butterflyers:
👉 Land with the hands narrow (especially if your stroke rate is below 60-65 strokes/min)
👉 Out-sweep to just outside the shoulders as you initiate the catch
👉 Slight in-sweep to go slightly narrower than the shoulders as the hands approach the belly button
👉 Slight out-sweep again as the wrists extend and the hands press past the hips
