Wikipedia
Butterfly stroke
The butterfly (colloquially shortened to fly) is a swimming stroke swum on the chest, with both arms moving symmetrically, accompanied by the butterfly kick (also known as the "dolphin kick"). While other styles like the breaststroke, front crawl, or backstroke can be swum adequately by beginners, the butterfly is a more difficult stroke that requires a good technique as well as strong muscles. It is the newest swimming style swum in competition, first swum in 1933 and originating out of the breaststroke.
ChatGPT
butterfly stroke
The butterfly stroke is a swimming style characterized by the simultaneous, symmetrical movement of the arms over the water and a dolphin-like kick. The swimmer's body moves in a wave-like undulating motion, and the key aspect of this stroke is that both arms must move together and the feet are pressed together in the dolphin kick. It is widely considered to be one of the most difficult and energy-intensive swimming styles.
