Butterfly demonstration
The butterfly stroke begins with the swimmer's arms moving in a windmill fashion from back to front. After entering the water, the hands move down the chest to the hips. The legs are kept together and thrust down like a flipper in a double rhythm matching the motion of the arms into and out of the water. A breath may be taken while the arms are underwater.
