hi this is justin i have got a queston about butterfly kick.
i usually training one kick butterfly because one kick butterfly goes more fastest than two kick
butterfly and i saw some olympic swimmers do it. but thesedays i cannot find olympic swimmers who kick one kick per cycle so i'm a little bit confuse.
i always thought that one kick BF(butterfly) is more fast cuz most of propulsion comes from
arms like 60 arms 40 kicks so if we kick just once per cycle stroke rate will increased so i thought we can go more fast and if i do one kick butterfly i can concentrate to make good body position when i get in(trying to make my back arch) is there someone who can tell me
why we use one kick per cycle or two kick? and if so why is that better than the other? it is very confusing. thanks

Two kicks is faster and more powerful than one kick, that's why you won't see any elite swimmers do only one. Proof? Here you go: http://www.goswim.tv/entries/3698/butterfl...

I also only swim with one kick, i don't do two because i need the time get my body position for my arms. I use one very big kick following up my arm stroke.

I have been looking for the specific people who have been swimming one kick fly, especially the 200 Fly. Any help on who these people/swimmers are? I have a 2:10 200 fly girl thats been doing it and it's strong and she says she could swim all day doing it and stay that fast. It was tuly a smooth great race.

Hello Michael! In the 1960's Ada Kok from The Netherlands was swimming fly with one kick
She won silver in Tokyo on the 100 fly and gold in Mexico City on the 200 fly.
She was 6 feet and 187 pounds. There are vids from her if you are interested.
