The butterfly swimming stroke is done on a prone position --- swum on the breast, both arms moving together by pulling, pushing, and recovering, both legs synchronically doing a dolphin kick, and the body making a wave-like motion. If the butterfly swimming stroke is rightly done, the swimmer would be in a smooth and gliding movement, however, it takes much practice, effort, and learning to master and perfect this stroke. Even professional and expert swimmers have to exercise the regular breathing method, arm and leg movement, and body flow, in order to have the feeling of oneness and fluidity in the water.

Unlike the other strokes, which can still be swum even if mistakenly done, the butterfly swimming stroke is a style that doesn't allow any flaws. So, to correctly swim this, beginners should practice one movement after another until every move is good, and try synchronizing all movements into one stroke. It really is difficult but once done, it would feel great.

To fully master the butterfly swimming stroke, you must go with the water and air and let your body do what you have practiced.
