Learn to swim butterfly correctly in 4 steps

Timing is the most important part of butterfly swimming.

1) ”The Catch”

Propel your body forward to push the water back

Your fingers should point downwards while your palms face backwards

Think about bending your elbows so that your forearms are at a vertical angle

Arms should be wide apart

2) The pressure on water

Propel your body forward with your chin and chest

The chin should not be tucked or dive

If you go too deep, you could end up stalling

Three actions should happen together:

Push your body forward

Hands and arms should be “forwards”

Kick!

4) Breathing

Breathing too deeply or at the wrong time will ruin a good breath. The key is to breathe forwards and to breathe late. In addition, try to breathe as close to the water surface as possible so you don't go too far up.

7 tips for swimming butterfly

Relaxed ankles ensure the best execution of the wave motion
The head controls and initiates the movement. It's not enough to sway your hips if you don't bend your neck in the push and pull phase
Think of the push-up as a pull phase and a push phase, where the “push” is to help you get your arms up and out of the water
Soft hips! Ditch the cold northerners - and think sassy hips!
Make sure to get your insertion in far out - with a “narrow” starting point
If you lift your head too high when breathing, you're making a movement that goes against the natural body wave. Therefore, breathe just above the surface of the water. Look down towards the surface of the water as you breathe. The focus of your eyes will help you with head positioning
Insertion should be on the centre axis and not “too wide”
