How do i go faster in the stroke butterfly and free style?
Regarding freestyle: Wow, are some of these answers ever conventional “red cross” swimming instructor’s tips! “Just work harder; it’s supposed to hurt. Wear fins, use hand paddles.” No! That is neither the fastest nor the easiest way to swim. Take the time to view video of elite swimmers on Youtube. You will notice that the fastest swimmers do not concentrate on pulling harder with arms or kicking ever harder. Instead, they focus on balance and a kick timed to drive the hip to their side position in perfect concert with front quadrant recovery of the arms. The fastest freestylers actually spend most of their time underwater and on their side, a swimming style taught by Total Immersion (TI) instructors.
