- 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.
