Does anyone have any tips for the butterfly stroke, HELP! ASAP! I HAVE A SWIM MEET TONIGHT!?

Question

please help me! my stupid coach signed me up for butterfly tonight in our swim meet. i have no idea how to do it! well i know it just not that well. like i know the stroke. but is their any tips you guys have for the butterfly stroke! HELP ME!!!!!!!

Answer 1

i did the fly last night i got 1 in 11 12 and my lil sis also got 1 in 9 10 our family masters in the fly and we both went to state for the 50 and i also went for the100  and in a relay i always swim the fly so in my opinion it just takes awhile to do but head down and don't breath so often and kick kick kick

Answer 2

breathe at least every other stroke, keep your legs straight, remember the second kick, relax, and just keep a smooth, pretty stroke

Answer 3

i have to do fly tonight too. remember to keep ur head down and try not to breathe that much (it slows u down).  make sure that u have a 2 hand touch and that ur streamline is strong (try to go for as long as u can). thats all the advice i kno. srry. good luck and remember to have fun!
