hi! first, thanks for the video!! clearest of all the butterfly stroke videos ive watched so far.

just a question, whats a "fin"? :O

[everybodyswim1]

@chern1172 check on the website, you will find the answer ;)

[everybodyswim1]

Not too long (because too heavy) not too short (because not powerful) Standard/Medium size would be perfect and don't forget: Fins are just used to make you feel the dolphin kick movement, so you don't have to use strength so much.

After a couple months of endurance + patience + this video, now I can swim butterfly.

Before I dive into pool, i watch this clip, memorize every bit and then drill in the pool.

Thank a lot and i am really enjoying the pool now.

@realrascal Good job! I'm happy to hear that ;)

I hope that this would be helpful for others in the future. From my experience, I picked up Dophin kicks while kicking off the walls. Then underwater dophin. When you get to a point where you can control your speed underwater, when you can do it sideways or facing up, you are ready to work on your strokes.

With the strokes, please do not make the same mistake as I did. You make your first half of the strokes AFTER you kick not While you are kicking. Same with recovery.

@SeeDipFu Thanks for sharing your experience!

This is the best butterfly stroke video in youtube!

I love the way the soothing ambient music goes so well with the smooth, graceful swimmers. The soundtrack to my butterfly would be something like the Village People's YMCA.

I am completely in awe of people who can swim like this.

@chern1172 A fin is a training tool to develop your kick. You get monofins to help with butterfly kick and short scuba like training fins to help with flutter kick. I'm almost sure that Finis actually came out with fin that helps with breaststroke kick but I've never seen it in the flesh only online.

Thank you. This video was great. I appreciated the under water and surface views. Made things a lot clearer to me. Extremely helpful.

AHA!!! that's why I always drowned doing my so called "BUTTERFLY" the mistake of me was I was flipping my foot and I easily get tired now I know It was just a simple dolphin kick?! sorry I'm still learning it's hard to learn alone... :))) haha
