As we progress ever so slowly to full stroke butterfly, this is simply going to alternate rather than a half-length each. We're going to go two strokes to the left then two strokes to the right, keeping the same rhythm and body motion happening. So two strokes with the left arm two strokes with the right arm, the kick timing is the same. All you're doing is switching from one side to the other, every two strokes. As you can see, this form is using fins if you need Finn's go ahead and put them on. They're going to give you a press forward that will allow you to focus on the front end of your stroke as well as giving you a good hip connection. Find the rhythm that allows you to keep the same rhythm for the entire length, being comfortable and switching from two strokes to the left and two strokes to the right.
