May 31, 2021 - Position 11 Butterfly Zoom

Every week, GoSwim hosts an online meeting (free to people who register) featuring our Theme of the Week. We will start uploading them here to YouTube for more people to view. Sign-up for our newsletter, and we hope you join us live in the future.

Theme of the Week:
Using “Position 11” to teach butterfly technique

Just as “Position 11,” is an effective starting point for teaching freestyle skills, Position 11 is a great starting point for teaching butterfly. The concepts of “soft hands,” horizontal bodyline, and kicking from the sternum, can all be learned when the swimmer’s arms are in Position 11 -- without having them take a single stroke of fly!
