This is a sample of the hi-res video. You'll have access to the entire video in this format, as well as a lower-res, mobile specific video for easier access via your mobile device.
In GO SWIM BUTTERFLY, Gold Medalist Misty Hyman shares the key focus points that she uses in her training and clinics to develop perfect butterfly technique. Misty's six focus points work for every level of swimmer -- novice to elite -- and you don't have to learn drills or change your normal workout routine in order to incorporate them into your stroke. You can start to apply them immediately, the next time you go to the pool. The extraordinary swimming footage of Misty, combined with her clear, step-by-step instruction, will help take your butterfly to the next level.
* Discover Misty's 6 key focus points for fast butterfly.
* Learn WHY each key point is important, and HOW each one will help you go faster.
* Each focus point is illustrated from multiple angles 'side, head-on, below, and rear' and from above and below the surface.
* Slow-motion and freeze-frame footage allows you to zoom in on key moves and really SEE how to do them.
* Use Misty's favorite drills to practice each key element - or just GO SWIM. The 6 simple focal points will help you improve, even without drills.
* In a special bonus interview section, Misty talks about her first race, training and motivation, dealing with disappointment, and "The Race" (her 2000 Olympic victory in Sydney).
MISTY HYMAN is a 5-time NCAA Champion, a 10-time National Champion, and Olympic Gold Medalist.

Hi,
i'll give this course a chance to 1:1 compare it to the DVD i already have.
Misty's butterfly is so elegant You dream to feel like she looks while she flies.
I have already taken quite a lot inspiration and insights from the DVD.
It really helps a lot and by watching the DVD before i "GoSwim" i am always inspired to exercise rather than just stick to my croppy style.
Hi Glenn,
technically the DVD wins the race. Good video quality, no bandwidth problems and there are DVD viewers that can show programmable loops in slow motion...
The "butterfly with Misty Hyman" online course resembles the DVD chapters. Only the bonus interview with Misty is missing. So You have everything You need to watch to see how butterfly should look like in the course.
There are tools for downloading the online videos to compansate for the disadvantages of online viewers to some extent.
I do have a netbook but didn't use it to watch GoSwim online videos yet.
For me the community makes a difference.
In the "Go Swim Gold" area each course is devided into the "classes" (videos, chapters) and each class has a forum to discuss details.
I think there is a great potential for high level communication within each course.
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others
learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
