	Butterfly stroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The butterfly, (fly for short) is a swimming stroke swum on the breast, with the arms moving synchronously.
		Butterfly, however, is unforgiving to mistakes in the style, and it is very difficult to overcome a bad butterfly style with brute strength.
		Therefore, the butterfly arms with a breaststroke kick were used by a few swimmers in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin for the breaststroke competitions.

		Characterized by its long overhead stroke and vigorous flutter kick, the freestyle is the fastest and most powerful of the swimming strokes.
		In the late 1950s, the butterfly stroke with the dolphin kick was legalized as a separate stroke for competition.
		The backstroke is the only stroke in which swimmers swim on their back and the only stroke that begins in the water.

	A Little About Swimming...The Basics
		During this arm movement the hips and shoulder should rotate to be perpendicular with the pool, then as the rotation continues the head, shoulder, and hips will be come parallel with the bottom of the pool again for a second until they continue on again to be perpendicular with the next sweep of the hands.
		Butterfly is considered the hardest of all 4 strokes.
		Almost all swimmers dread a butterfly race, which is why there are only two butterfly races; the 100 and 200 fly, along with 2 relays.

	Training des Delphinarmzuges
		Butterfly Stroke is easy to teach and, for younger pupils particularly, easy to accomplish.
		This is particularly so in Butterfly Stroke where swimmers are faced with bringing both arms over the water simultaneously and, at this point, relying heavily on help from the legs to make it easier.
		When faster strokes can be performed proficiently, pupils should grab a breath about every second or third stroke by pushing their chin forward to clear the water as the arms pull back.

		Even though knowing the Butterfly is not a "one for one" stroke like the Breast as far as kick and stroke is concerned I DQ'd a swimmer last week for not using his arms but just kicking during his butterfly leg of a Medley Relay in the center of the pool for 10+ yards.
		Butterfly is not a cycle stroke like breaststroke, although swimmers typically swim butterfly by executing a cycle once they are up on the surface until they touch while in cycle or break the cycle to kick in for the touch.
		The butterfly stroke rule says, "The swimmer is permitted one or more leg kicks, but only one arm pull underwater, which must bring the swimmer to the surface.

	The Best Recovery
		The very best arm stroke recovery is one which allows the hand to arrive in time to begin the next stroke but also allows the arm to slow almost to a complete stop just before the hand enters the water.
		If you are stroking very slowly, there is time to extend forward and to push back as far as you can and still bring the hand forward in time.
		The front of the stroke, from the time the hand touches the water until the hand moves down to the ‘catch’ position is not very propulsive.

	TeenBodybuilding.com - Jeff Galterio - Cardio Series: Swimming - The Butterfly!
		In butterfly, a nod of the chin initiates the undulation that triggers the incorporation of the hips that continues all the way down to the snap of the ankles.
		A common fault in butterfly is to avoid using the hips and to kick solely from the knees down.
		When learning the butterfly, it is important to concentrate on the timing of the two kicks in relation to the arm cycle rather than to emphasize the relative strength of the two kicks.

		I think too often that we work on the Butterfly stroke last, which perhaps suggests that it is the most difficult stroke to learn.
		I feel it is important to swim Butterfly in practice, but limit the distances to be sure the swimmers are still swimming with proper technique.
		The usual variation’s use is three strokes with the right arm, three strokes with the both arms, three strokes with the left arm and three strokes with both arms.

	The Independent - Julie Bradshaw swimming butterfly stroke in an endless pool to prepare for open water swimming
		The splashing is Mad Fish butterflying; the groaning and cursing is the photographer trying to do the whole spectacle justice without drenching himself, or wrecking his camera.
		Long-distance swimming first grabbed her when she was 13 on holiday in the Lake District: "I'd always been into swimming and I saw this sign advertising a race across Windermere and I just wanted to do it," she says matter-of-factly, as though nine out of 10 13-year-olds would have made exactly the same decision.
		The butterfly is the hardest swimming stroke because your shoulders have to work so hard to get you up out of the water to breathe.

		A: Butterfly is a "short-axis stroke", that is dependent upon extended glide, and "core-wave rhythm".
		While there are two kicks, to one stroke, in butterfly, your second kick will occur because your body "dolphins" with "wave rhythm", and not because you are attempting to "force" a second kick.
		One additional drill that will help you understand the correlation between butterfly, and breastroke, is to alternate two strokes of breaststroke, with two strokes of butterfly across the length of a 25-yard pool (no more than 8 strokes total!).

	BUTTERFLY STROKE TECHNIQUE
		If the timing and rhythm of the stroke is wrong, the stroke becomes difficult as arms and legs begin applying force at the wrong times and in the wrong directions.
		Kick from the chest down, and kick the bottom of the pool: The kick in butterfly should not originate from the knees, or be limited to the lower legs.
		Some drills you may try for body position include single-arm butterfly swimming and a "short-axis combo" (swimming a few strokes of fly, then immediately switching to a few strokes of breaststroke).

	Lateral inspiration in Butterfly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Most of the swimming literature describes the inspiration, in Butterfly stroke, as being made by a cervical extension.
		If the investigation about Butterfly is scarce (Figueiras, 1995), in the particular case of the type of inspiration, it seems to be non-existent, and the few references about this matter lay on common sense data (Counsilman, 1968; Costill et al., 1992; Maglischo, 1993).
		The purpose of this study was to find eventual variations on kinematical parameters, on Butterfly stroke, induced by the introduction of lateral inspiration in young swimmers.
