Best Answer

flap your legs together (like doing a mermaid stroke)

keep your legs together at all times

push your arms from your thighs and proper push them over your head,

then make like an "S" shape, with your hands

and repeat it.

i do a swimming club and it really helps me

or start some swimming lessons, they can really practice your strokees

:)

good luckk + keep practising!

The correct way to swim the butterfly stroke would be to first stretch out your hands straight and keep them together, with your palms facing out. Your head should be in the water. Next, pull both your hands into your body, or along the outline of your body as fast as you can. This will require a lot of energy and arm muscles. Swing both your hands out of the water as fast as you can, and at the same time, lift up your head and breathe. Your hands should touch the water surface when you have finished breathing. Your legs should be together. Kick without bending your legs, but using your stomach muscles to move your whole lower body to let your legs kick (like a dolphin). Repeat this, but do not breathe. Do the breathing alternatively.

Also, you want to make sure that when your arms swinging out of the water, your chest should be down, and your butt up. When you are pulling in the water, it should be the opposite of that-- pull your chest up and bring your hips down.
