Timing is everything in butterfly. You can have the perfect technique, but if the "when" of your stroke isn't correct it will feel a lot harder (and slower) than it should be. Watch Chloe demonstrate some common mistakes and the proper timing for a fast and efficient butterfly stroke. A very common issue in freestyle is when a swimmer's legs sink. This doesn't usually have much to do with how hard they're kicking. It's more about posture and core engagement. Watch this video and follow this drill progression to improve your body position for a faster and more efficient freestyle |
