To help beginners master the technique and swim effectively, here is a detailed guide from the basics to important considerations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dong-tac-quat-tay\"><\/span>Hand fanning motion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The arm stroke is an essential part of butterfly swimming technique, generating the primary propulsion that propels you forward. Below are step-by-step instructions for performing the arm stroke correctly, helping you optimize propulsion and improve swimming speed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Original location:<\/strong> Extend both arms straight forward, palms facing down. Keep your body straight and parallel to the water&#039;s surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start fanning yourself:<\/strong> The arms are fanned out to the sides in a curved motion, forming a Y shape. Then, pull the arms downwards, palms always facing backward to push the water. When the arms are pulled down to shoulder level, they will point inward and come together at the end of the movement, near the hips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Complete the action:<\/strong> When your arms sweep past your hips, lift them out of the water and bring them back forward. This is the &quot;recovery&quot; phase of the movement, allowing your arms to return to their starting position in preparation for the next stroke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dong-tac-dap-chan-dolphin-kick\"><\/span>Dolphin kick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The leg kick in butterfly swimming is a rhythmic combination of both legs, undulating like a dolphin&#039;s tail, propelling the body forward powerfully.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leg position:<\/strong> Both legs are extended straight and almost touching each other.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wave riding:<\/strong> The kicking motion originates from the hips, then travels down to the knees and finally to the feet. First, the hips are pushed up out of the water, then they curve downwards in a wave-like motion, causing the legs to powerfully kick the water underneath.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pedaling rhythm:<\/strong> In each stroke of the hand paddle, there are usually two leg kicks. One kick when the hand pulls in the water and one kick when the hand is taken out of the water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ket-hop-tay-va-chan\"><\/span>Coordinate hands and feet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#039;ve mastered the arm strokes and leg kicks, you need to combine them rhythmically so your body moves smoothly through the water.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hand and foot rhythm:<\/strong> With both arms sweeping backward and pulling the body upwards, combine this with a strong leg kick to propel yourself forward. When your arms emerge from the water, kick a second time to maintain momentum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Body rhythm:<\/strong> Your body needs to bend in rhythm with your arms and legs, creating a gentle wave-like motion from head to toe, allowing you to glide effortlessly through the water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ky-thuat-tho\"><\/span>Breathing techniques<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Proper breathing is a crucial element in butterfly swimming, helping swimmers maintain stamina and comfort throughout the stroke.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breathing time:<\/strong> As your arms pull strongly through the water and your body rises above the surface, inhale through your mouth. Then, as your arms begin to sink back into the water and your body lowers, exhale through your nose or mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay attention to breathing evenly. <\/strong>During each hand-fanning cycle, you should take one breath. This helps maintain the necessary oxygen levels and ensures a steady breathing rhythm so that your body doesn&#039;t tire quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"than-nguoi-va-tu-the-co-the\"><\/span>Body shape and posture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keeping your body straight and synchronized with the movement of your arms and legs will help you swim faster and with less fatigue. For effective butterfly swimming, the body needs to maintain a straight posture and lie parallel to the water surface.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swirling to the rhythm:<\/strong> When swimming, imagine your body moving like a gentle wave. Your body needs to coordinate its movements from head to toe to optimize flexibility and reduce water resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain balance: <\/strong>Try to keep your head and body straight, and avoid raising your head too high when breathing. Maintaining balance helps prevent loss of momentum and conserves energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, butterfly swimming is not only a challenging but very enjoyable technique, but it also offers many physical and health benefits. Beginners need to focus on practicing the correct technique and adjusting the rhythm between movements to progress quickly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cac-bai-tap-luyen-tap-ky-thuat-boi-buom\"><\/span>Exercises to practice butterfly swimming technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1530\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1530\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1530\" src=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-10.jpg\" alt=\"Some exercises to help improve butterfly swimming technique.\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-10.jpg 600w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-10-496x372.jpg 496w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-10-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-10-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1530\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some exercises to help improve butterfly swimming technique.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To swim the butterfly stroke effectively, mastering the fundamental techniques is crucial. Training exercises not only perfect your movements but also improve coordination and endurance. In this section, we will introduce specific exercises, from basic to advanced, to help you comprehensively improve your butterfly swimming skills.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai-tap-nang-cao-suc-manh-tay\"><\/span>Exercises to improve arm strength<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Arm strength is crucial in butterfly swimming, as it helps you propel yourself effectively through the water and maintain speed. This exercise can be performed as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Arm swing exercise with dumbbells:<\/strong> Using dumbbells or a small tubing, stand upright and perform a stroke similar to butterfly swimming. Stroke your arms downward and backward, keeping your elbows higher than your palms for optimal propulsion. Focus on feeling the muscles working, and perform 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions each.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weightlifting:<\/strong> Lie face down on a chair or bench, and use your arms to push the weights upwards as if you were performing a stroke in swimming. Keep your back straight and perform 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions each. This exercise not only strengthens your arms but also improves muscle endurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai-tap-cho-do-linh-hoat-cua-chan\"><\/span>Exercises for leg flexibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Leg flexibility is crucial in butterfly swimming, allowing for efficient kicking and better body control. The following exercises help improve leg flexibility:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leg kicking exercise on the ground: <\/strong>Stand upright, extend one leg forward and kick it upwards, keeping the leg straight, then return it to the starting position. Repeat 10-15 times for each leg. Then, switch to a side-leaning position and repeat the movement, helping to improve flexibility in the legs and hips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry-land butterfly stroke exercise:<\/strong> Lie face down on a mat and simulate the butterfly stroke by using your legs to kick continuously, keeping your body straight and tense. Focus on moving your legs from your hips, creating a sensation similar to swimming in water. Perform this exercise for about 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai-tap-phoi-hop-dong-tac\"><\/span>Exercises involving coordinated movements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Coordination of arm, leg, and breathing movements is crucial for effective butterfly swimming. The following exercises help improve this coordination:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Separated butterfly stroke exercise:<\/strong> In the pool, practice the butterfly stroke using only your arms (without kicking) to focus on the arm stroke technique. Then, experiment with kicking without using your arms, to feel how your body moves. Finally, combine both movements and pay attention to your breathing, creating a seamless sequence of motion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercises with resistance bands:<\/strong> Use resistance bands to create resistance for your arms and legs while performing the butterfly stroke. The first step is to wrap the resistance band around your thighs and perform a leg kick, then release and perform an arm stroke. This exercise not only improves strength but also enhances arm-leg coordination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These exercises not only improve your butterfly technique but also enhance your strength and flexibility, allowing you to swim the butterfly more effectively in the water. Maintain regular practice to see noticeable progress!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cach-chon-trang-phuc-boi-cho-boi-buom\"><\/span>How to choose swimwear for butterfly swimming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1531\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1531\" src=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-11.jpg\" alt=\"How to choose swimwear for butterfly swimming\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-11.jpg 600w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-11-496x372.jpg 496w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-11-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-11-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to choose swimwear for butterfly swimming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Choosing the right swimwear for butterfly stroke is crucial, not only for comfort during each movement but also for optimizing swimming performance. Here are some factors to consider when choosing swimwear for butterfly stroke:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"chon-chat-lieu-vai\"><\/span>Choose the fabric material<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stretchable material:<\/strong> Swimwear should be made from stretchy fabrics like spandex or lycra, allowing for easy movement and a lightweight feel while swimming. These materials not only hug the body but also ensure durability and water resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corrosion resistance:<\/strong> If you swim in saltwater or chlorinated water, choose swimwear that is corrosion-resistant to extend the lifespan of your garment and protect your skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kieu-dang-va-thiet-ke\"><\/span>Style and design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Suitable design:<\/strong> Swimwear for butterfly swimming is typically designed to be form-fitting, helping to reduce water resistance.

A swimsuit that fits snugly will allow for comfortable arm and leg movements. If it&#039;s too tight, it can restrict movement and cause discomfort, while if it&#039;s too loose, it will increase water resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Test for elasticity:<\/strong> Before buying, try on the clothing to check for stretch and comfort. You need to feel free to move, without feeling restricted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mau-sac-va-phong-cach\"><\/span>Color and style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eye-catching colors: <\/strong>While color doesn&#039;t affect swimming performance, choosing bright colors or eye-catching patterns will help you stand out in the water and motivate yourself. Additionally, if you&#039;re competing, pay attention to the color regulations for swimwear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal style:<\/strong> Choose swimwear that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Investing in a nice, well-fitting swimsuit will help you feel better during training and competition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"phu-kien-bo-sung\"><\/span>Additional accessories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swimming cap:<\/strong> Swimming caps not only keep your hair from getting wet but also reduce drag while swimming. Choose a swimming cap made of silicone or latex, which fits snugly without causing discomfort.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swimming goggles:<\/strong> Swimming goggles protect your eyes from water and minimize fogging, allowing you to see clearly.

Below are the most common mistakes when swimming the butterfly stroke and ways to correct them to improve your swimming skills.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"chuyen-dong-tay-khong-dong-deu-hoac-khong-dung-huong\"><\/span>Uneven or incorrect hand movements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most common mistake is asymmetrical arm movements or movements that don&#039;t follow the correct circular motion underwater. This prevents swimmers from generating good propulsion, reducing the power and effectiveness of their stroke.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How to fix:<\/strong> To overcome this, swimmers need to pay attention to performing synchronized arm movements. Keep both arms moving rhythmically from front to back, creating an arc underwater. A helpful tip is to imagine you&#039;re drawing a Y shape as your arms move forward and pull through the water to optimize propulsion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dap-chan-khong-hieu-qua-dap-chan-sai-ky-thuat\"><\/span>Ineffective leg kicking (incorrect leg kicking technique)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many butterfly swimmers encounter problems with their leg kick, including insufficient power or incorrect rhythm. The leg kick in butterfly swimming requires flexibility from the hips, knees, and feet to generate the right propulsion. When the leg kick is ineffective, the entire stroke becomes heavy and sluggish.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How to fix:<\/strong> To improve, you need to focus on kicking from your hips instead of just your knees. Maintain a soft and flexible leg kick, ensuring your legs extend and kick down rhythmically with the stroke. You can practice by lying on your back and kicking your legs on the water&#039;s surface or using a float to stabilize your upper body and focus on the leg movement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"than-nguoi-khong-giu-duoc-nhip-song-muot-ma\"><\/span>The body cannot maintain a smooth, rhythmic wave.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Butterfly swimming requires the body to move in a wave-like motion, but a common mistake is having an overly stiff torso or being unable to create a smooth &quot;wave&quot; motion, leading to high drag and excessive energy expenditure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How to fix:<\/strong> Swimmers need to learn to master wave motion from head to toe. To do this, you need to practice moving in a wave-like manner, starting from the head and continuing through the neck, chest, abdomen, then the hips and legs. A useful exercise is practicing &quot;wave tapping&quot; while standing in the water: using force from the hips to create a continuous wave motion from head to toe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ky-thuat-tho-khong-phu-hop\"><\/span>Inappropriate breathing technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Breathing is one of the crucial techniques in butterfly swimming, and incorrect breathing rhythm or lifting the head too high while breathing will cause the body to lose balance, increase water resistance, and reduce the efficiency of the stroke.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How to fix:<\/strong> To breathe correctly while swimming the butterfly stroke, you should keep your head in a central position and only lift it when your arms are in the stroke phase. When inhaling, lift your chin slightly off the water, just enough for your mouth to inhale, and then quickly lower your head to prepare for the next arm movement. This helps maintain smooth movement and prevents loss of balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dau-goi-gap-qua-nhieu-khi-dap-chan\"><\/span>The knee bends too much when kicking the leg.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Over-bending the knees is a mistake that prevents the legs from generating enough propulsion and reduces swimming efficiency. When kicking incorrectly, the propulsion is not only ineffective but also creates more drag, making the swimmer sluggish.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How to fix: <\/strong>To correct this mistake, you need to keep your legs straight for most of the kicking motion, and only bend your knees slightly to generate power when kicking down. You can practice with leg kick exercises using a float or practice in shallow water to better feel the correct movement from your hips to your knees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Butterfly stroke can be challenging, but if you pay attention and practice the common corrections, you&#039;ll see a significant improvement in your technique and enjoy this swimming style more. Regular practice and patience will help you master the butterfly stroke effectively and accurately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"nhung-dieu-can-luu-y-khi-moi-tap-boi-buom\"><\/span>Things to keep in mind when first learning to swim the butterfly stroke.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1533\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1533\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1533\" src=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-13.jpg\" alt=\"Some things to keep in mind for beginners learning butterfly swimming.\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-13.jpg 600w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-13-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-13-496x372.jpg 496w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-13-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-13-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some things to keep in mind for beginners learning butterfly swimming.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Butterfly stroke is one of the more complex and technically demanding swimming styles, but it&#039;s also very enjoyable and offers many health benefits. Below are some things to keep in mind when you first start learning butterfly stroke, to help you have the best experience during your learning process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Master the basic techniques:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hand movements:<\/strong> Learning the correct arm stroke is the first step. Make sure you stroke from front to back, with your elbows higher than your palms and a strong thrust. Practice these movements on land before moving on to the water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kicking: <\/strong>Regular and rhythmic leg kicks are very important. Practice kicking in rhythm with your arm movements for the best synchronization. Your legs should be kept slightly below the water surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Practice proper breathing: One of the biggest challenges in butterfly swimming is proper breathing. Practice lifting your head out of the water when you need to breathe, and do this in sync with your arm movements. Inhale quickly and gently before continuing to swim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focus on body posture: <\/strong>Keep your body level with the water: Proper body posture will help reduce drag. Pay attention to keeping your hips and chest high, forming a straight line from head to toe. Use your abdominal muscles to maintain this posture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start at a slow pace: <\/strong>When you first start, practice the butterfly stroke at a slow speed so you can pay attention to each movement. Gradually increase the speed as you become more comfortable with the technique.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Muscle strength training: <\/strong>Butterfly swimming requires a lot of arm and leg strength. Perform strength training exercises such as weightlifting, push-ups, and squats on land to prepare for swimming. This will help you have enough strength to perform the swimming stroke effectively.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice regularly:<\/strong> To master the butterfly stroke, you need to practice regularly. Make it a habit to swim at least 2-3 times a week, with each session lasting from 30 minutes to 1 hour. This practice time will help you improve your technique and increase your endurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Butterfly swimming can be a big challenge, but with patience, practice, and the right guidance, you can quickly get used to and master this technique. Remember to always maintain a positive attitude and enjoy the learning process!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cac-giai-dau-boi-buom-noi-bat-2024\"><\/span>Highlights of butterfly swimming competitions in 2024<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1534\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1534\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1534\" src=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-14.jpg\" alt=\"Some notable butterfly swimming competitions in 2024\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-14.jpg 600w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-14-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-14-496x372.jpg 496w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-14-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/clubthethao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/huong-dan-ky-thuat-boi-buom-chuan-tu-a-den-z-14-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1534\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some notable butterfly swimming competitions in 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>2024 promises to be a year of many outstanding butterfly swimming competitions, where athletes from around the world will have the opportunity to showcase their talent and compete at the highest level.
