Butterfly stroke
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2020) |
The butterfly (shortened to fly[1]) is a swimming stroke swum on the chest, with both arms moving symmetrically, accompanied by the butterfly kick (also known as the "dolphin kick") along with the movement of the hips and chest.[2][3] It is the newest swimming style swum in competition, first swum in the early 1930s and originating out of the breaststroke.[4]
