The butterfly stroke in swimming:
My experience with the butterfly stroke in swimming is near zero. My sister was a competitive swimmer and represented her province to a top level, with one of her stronger strokes being butterfly. My desire to learn this new skill is related to the fact that I love swimming and being in the water. I have always wanted to be able to do the butterfly stroke since I saw my sister competing and saw how superior it looked to all the other strokes. My goal for this activity is to be able to do both the butterfly kick and arm movement confidentially, and also be able to do this stroke for a 50 meter race!
Below is an initial outline of the skills required for the butterfly stroke, describing phases and skills involved. This is a dynamic description which will change as I progress through learning this skill.
Plan:
Complete at least one swim stroke practice session per week:
1. Blogging what I planned
2.What was actually done
3.Stats, data and video
4. Reflection on the outcomes of each session
Breakdown of phases and skills:
Phases Skills/considerations
1.Diving from the starting blocks *Stance
*Push off from the blocks
*Follow through the dive
*Glide of the dive
2.Body undulation *Body position
*Hip movement pattern
*Timing
3.Dolphin kick *Kick technique
*Leg position
*Leg movement pattern
4.Arm catch *Arm movement technique
*Body kinematics
*Recovery position
5.Breathing *Breathing timing
