  • I love how he says to keep your head looking down when you breathe even though he looks completely forward xD

  • Butterfly is my best stroke<3 I can swim 50 yd butterfly in less then 20 seconds. I love swimming. Cant wait till next summers swim team:)

  • why does he need a cap.... HE'S BALD!

  • I am on my way to the swimming pool...I AM ALL FIRED UP!!!!

  • oh no expert village again :(

  • @ron7006 that only counts for breast stroke

  • Am I really the only one who noticed he did the last 2 strokes 2 breathings? I can remember he said every 2 strokes 1 breath. It was the last kick to the wall so he could breath there!

  • @IloveSPIDERZ --Butterfly is not the easiest to learn. Lots of technique in it. Its been a while since I swam it. I just started swimming again and my biggest problem is butterfly. I burn out before I finish 2 laps.

  • Thanks, this was really helpful.

  • @maaaajj you can. and it will make you faster but more tired
