Answer 2

butterfly is excellent, but is also helps to just dolphin on your back, and trust me, you WILL feel it. i assume you're trying sit ups and stuff like that too, which will help too. good luck!

Answer 3

Try doing butterfly kicks with a kickboard, both on your stomach and on your back. All swimming strokes will help with your abs Just think to yourself when you are swimming to lengthen your body. Stretch all the way through your hips.

Answer 4

Definitely the butterfly. You could do it with a kicboard, or normally, it helps. You will feel the burn. Also, I personally discovered that doing the breaststroke kick while holding a kickboard out in front of you and keeping your head above water works your abs and you stomach. It doesn't look like it, but it does.
