Butterfly breathing technique is a rapid and explosive action that can take place every stroke or every second stroke depending on the ability of the swimmer and the distance and pace of the swim.
Inhalation and exhalation take place within a very short time during the stroke cycle and therefore powerful respiratory muscles and good breathing control are required.
Butterfly timing and coordination cycles should contain 2 leg kicks to 1 arm cycle where the first kick occurs when the arms are forward and the second kick when they have pulled back. Correct timing and coordination are essential for a smooth easy butterfly stroke.
