Butterfly has a reputation. It looks awesome when it’s done right, but feels impossible when it’s not.
The activities are designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing teachers to move quickly through easier skills while spending more time refining challenging technique areas.
Instead of rushing swimmers through the stroke, this plan helps them build a strong, confident Butterfly step by step.
Whether you're an instructor teaching stroke correction, or a swimmer on your own. Our guide lays it all out in a way that makes work.
Just print, laminate and take to the pool.

Designed by an experienced swim teacher who understands the unique challenges butterfly swimmers face.
