This stroke gets its name from its butterfly falpping like motion of the hand.It is considered to have been evolved from breaststroke. Unlike breaststroke it is hard to learn and easy to master. It is arduous to learn and requires form, strength and passion. While other styles like the breaststroke, front crawl, or backstroke can be swum easily even by beginners, the butterfly requires very good technique. Many students consider it the most difficult style of swimming. It is impossible to compensate a poor butterfly technique with brute strength.
