All swimmers know that the butterfly technique is hard work.
The arms as well as the legs are in simultaneous motion, relying on sheer power for breathing. The arms pull is followed by a massive kick with the feet together and vaults the swimmer over the water where they can catch a breath. Rhythm is crucial for efficiency and breathing in butterfly technique. Neither the legs or arms can ever pause without losing the stroke form entirely. So what techniques can you do with dryland training to help your strength and flexibility for butterfly technique?

But it is one thing to do strength training in the gym and then make use of it in the water and another to actually do strength training in the water using resistances.
