I’m about to learn swimming for the first time in my life! Well…I attempted 4 years ago until I had to stop before I could complete it do to losing a very special family member. I’m nervous yet so Excited. I’ll be looking at this channel for inspiration, tips, and just plan help lol

I used to call my butterfly, the "drowning stroke" (head and both arms come up at the same time). Now I'm beginnng to improve so I dont look like I'm drowning anymore ☺

Excelente video cómo siempre.
Mariposa es un estilo muy cansado pero es el estilo más genial de la natación para mí.
Saludos y muchas gracias por tus videos.

I have a hard time not lifting my head when I breath but I lose so much momentum and can’t swim a whole lap because of it. One time I managed to do it right but swallowed water. It sounds like I need more practice on the dolphin kick first

I tried to follow your video and started butterfly but after doing 6-7 strokes, I am getting tired and stopping right there. Can you suggest what to do? Also, I want to know if the technique shown here is the most right and for beginners or is it for intermediate swimmers?I have problem with arm movement and I find the arm movement you shown in this video difficult to do for more than 5 strokes.Please suggest steps so that I can do butterfly for 50 m at a stretch without getting tired?

[bnsumithra]

I saw that key hole style pull is used but you said you can also pull in a straight line. Can we do the pull in a straight line instead of S shape?Please create a video exclusively on pulling in a straight line. I don't agree that butterfly is 2 freestyles combined.

I swim with a mermaid tail as a hobby, but I'm not the greatest at swimming outside of it, so i'm trying to learn this so i can swim better whether or not im using a tail

[HoKanHowardCheung]

May we swim relaxingly in a long distance with butterfly stroke?

Good video on the Butterfly but you didn’t talk much about how to do the Dolphin kick.

[giorgioyip]

Can l use three dolpin kicks for each butterfly stroke instead of two?
