Butterfly is a tougher stroke to master compared to freestyle, backstroke or breaststroke, but, by doing a few key things well, you can quickly progress with it.

Butterfly is swum on your front, eyes facing down and forwards as in front crawl, however, there is no rotation, your body should be parallel to the bottom of the pool. Your head leads the movement of the stroke and the rest of your body should follow, causing the undulating dolphin movement.
