Butterfly pull with breathing while staying on the bottom of the pool

Performing a butterfly pull with breathing while staying on the bottom of the pool requires a combination of technique, breath control, and strength.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Get Comfortable:

Start by getting comfortable staying on the bottom of the pool.

Body Position:

Position yourself vertical on the pool bottom bend your body slightly in front and face down, with your arms extended forward and your legs together.

Initiate the Pull:

Initiate the butterfly pull by bending your elbows and pulling back your arms in a circular motion simultaneously.

Breathing Technique:

As your arms begin a pull, lift your head slightly in front to take a breath. During recovery arms put your head back in the water and look down

Practice:

Practice this technique repeatedly to improve your pull with timing control breath, and overall efficiency. Start by practicing in shallow water where you can comfortably touch the bottom, and gradually move to deeper water as you gain confidence.

Remember to always prioritize safety while practicing any swimming technique, especially in deeper water or if you’re attempting a new skill. If you’re not confident in your ability to perform this skill, consider working with a certified swimming instructor who can provide personalized guidance and feedback.
