Mark offers some advice on proper butterfly arm recovery.
The arm recovery should be a related motion.but many swimmers muscle their arms forward instead.
Forcing the arms forward will make the back and shoulder muscles very tired.
In order to have a relaxed recovery that will not tire your muscles as quickly.
1,Finish your arm stroke strong.
2,Have a powerful kick at the finish of the arm stroke .
3,Don't lift your body up high when you breathe.
4,let your arms recover close to the surface of water.
If you concentrate on all of these technique points.you"ll be able to enjoy swimming fly even more.
