Answer #1

Hi,

Here are some tips:

*  The butterfly kick is actually two kicks. One kick is a big kick, with knees bending and kicking out while the body leaps and dives forward. Then, during the glide, the whole body whips the legs into a second, smaller kick.

* Done properly, the butterfly stroke is a smooth, gliding stroke, but you may find it very difficult and tiring when learning.

* Practice the kick without the stroke to get a feel for using your whole body. Extend your arms and undulate your body through the water.

* Try practicing the kick with fins on to get the feeling of a powerful and fluid kick.

Claps umm… that helps a lot but im actually asking the hand part. making its wings, its so hard to make a circle up, is so heavy.
