Hi guys this is Christian from Swindlefly.com. Today we're going to learn how to swim butterfly in three steps and only one lesson. So to learn how to swim butterfly is pretty simple. You just need to respect the basics and skills on the right movement. The butterfly is one of the strokes the most simple to swim actually. A lot of people they are like wow, butterfly is so so hard so complicated so tiring so stressful you are so good you know to swim butterfly but actually it's not true. A butterfly is something it's really natural. You need to feel correctly the movement in the water you need to feel the waves because out of movement like a dolphin but it's very simple. So the step number one to swim butterfly is to learn how to execute the dolphin kick. A butterfly strokes is not like a freestyle stroke where the legs are kicking one after one like this. The both feet are together the knees are together and you kick like a dolphin tail okay like a whale like a mermaid okay so very simple to learn how to do this you can just practice sitting here and basically you can sit in the stand movement and as like this my legs go down and I kick up the kicking needs to be up to the sky here and I kick you see I hit flat my knee is not I kick I kick I kick that's the kick freestyle when the butterfly is like this you bend the little bit your legs and your knees so because you are on your side right it's on the back you would be like this and can you listen that sound behind me that's the sound of the tail right so listen that sound because it's very important for learning after that and one kick two kick two three kick two four two anytime I hit there's a two there was a boom because my legs are on the surface okay so don't forget to kick kick kick on the surface so now you need to practice inside the water so I know I know how to execute my boom boom boom boom which is my kicking on butterfly right so I'm gonna learn how to do it into the arrow butterfly which is the step number one is the arrow butterfly so my hands far away my head under I blow my bubbles I don't see my head here it's kicking flatly and I do boom boom boom boom with my legs blowing bubbles from something like five meters or so more okay and nothing much okay you're learning it's very basic so take it easy practice again try to feel the boom boom and you are moving forward okay arrow position like this with the boom okay so very simple this is the arrow butterfly okay a last little tip when you do your boom right it's butterfly remember to try to kick not only not only from your knees or from your feet the butterfly kick start from the lower body but the upper portion of the lower body so it's not from your stomach for your hips okay the kick is actually starting from here I move my butt behind I kick boom I grew I grew forward with my hips behind four one behind four one so it's not something where just to kick it is more like I kick with all my lower body okay and I'm not only kicking with my knees and my legs okay which you can feel it than it's like this then you're kicking with your hip effect here okay so now I know how to do my arrow butterfly so let's learn the step number two you need to learn how to move your both ends together like freestyle this is freestyle only one way going back the butterfly is both and together pulling to the end then flying back on the side to reach the front again together double pulling ventilate and then fly back on the side to go back together when you fly back on the side don't bend your elbow try to fly with a big circle on the side your fingers relax above the surface of the water try to touch the water as far as possible on the front so pull and fly back go back in the water so we're going to learn how to do the pulling the double pulling executing the boom boom the boom boom are the dolphin case but you cannot breathe the breathing is the last step so we're going to learn how to do this movement one dolphin two dolphin you move your hands together and again one dolphin two dolphin you move your hands together one dolphin two dolphin you move your hands together at the first dolphin stretch your arms forward at the second dolphin you can double pull and go back on the front go slowly and go easy remember you are learning is all about sensation so let's try you cannot breathe so I want you to keep your head under water looking at the bottom of you okay so at some point you will need to take a breath which is normal so you stop and repeat again don't focus on looking at some point one dolphin two dolphin you move your hands okay we slowly and go easy okay the very basic stroke for beginners now you have the motion this is step number two you know to do your double pulling I'm going back on the side so the real butterfly is actually be able to do the same but you can breathe you can take a breath every two double pulling so you're going to learn now I do the same things but at the second time you're going to move your hands you can breathe up near to the water of your mouth and dive again with your head under the water to go back into the arrow which hand and continue the dolphins one dolphin two dolphin move your hands but don't breathe one dolphin two dolphin move your hand that you breathe up one time and go down and again one dolphin two dolphins stay down one dolphin two dolphins go up and go down okay so that's the last step step number three breathe every two strokes let's go okay take it easy when you can do that you will have a better notion of what is the butterfly after you're going to practice more in your waves you're going to practice more on your relaxing on the strength of your hand for the pulling but that's the motion one big dolphin move your hand two big dolphin move your hand every time you move your hand you have another little dolphin behind that's why it's two dolphins one dolphin move your hands with another dolphin one dolphin move your hand with another dolphin but the fly is all about being smooth in the water okay relax your lower body feel it right feel it in fly and then the butterfly will become very very simple okay so the subscription from sinstad.com you can download our method to
