Is learning how to swim Butterfly hard or easy?

Question

I hear swimming butterfly burns the most amount of fat. I want to learn how to do it but Is it difficult?

Answer 1

The Butterfly takes a combination of Strength, Endurance, and Technique. Its difficult to swim it very far, and learning the rhythm and the correct way to perform the stroke take guidance from someone who knows how to do it. Your best bet is going to a lap pool and asking for advice while swimming, or get a friend or someone who knows how to show you. You also have the option of joining a club swim team to learn. It does burn the most fast per distance, but doing it long enough is hard to do unless your a competitive swimmer. Online videos also help as well.
