How to Swim Butterfly Like Michael Phelps and Caeleb Dressel

This video is the third in a series of technique videos on my channel. Here I go over how to swim butterfly faster by showing the technical aspects and timing of the pull, kick, and breath in butterfly. I go over the Michael Phelps technique, as he is widely considered the greatest butterflyer of all time. Please leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed the video!

Subscribed and downloaded to my workout video collection.
I like how concise you are covering the essentials.
No ramblings, just straight to the point.
The underwater views are at optimal angles.

Another amazing video! The underwater video is very helpful in visualizing the stroke. Keep these coming!

I'm an IMer. As a Masters swimmer we don't always get technique coaching. I've been experimenting/struggling with my fly catch and pull through.

Seems that a lot of the more modern fly swimmers get their hands in the water pretty close to the center line, then come out to shoulder width, hour glass in near the waist, then finish out by the hips. I did see a clip of Phelps from 2008 and his arms entered the water shoulder width apart. Saw another one where the swimmer actually swept outwards a bit, almost like breast stroke. Never could swim breast stroke cause my feet won't turn out. My lap pal agreed to learn my over arm side stroke if I tried the

I have a problem with my legs ....do you swing your waist to get the dolphin kick or does it come naturally as you do the stroke.
