This is my first page on butterfly and backstroke. First I am going to tell you how to swim butterfly. Butterfly is one of the hardest strokes to swim. This is because in butterfly you have to move your arms in a circular motion. When you move your arms in the circular motion you have to bring them all the way around your head and then bring them back into the water underneath your body. When your arms are under the water you have to push back with your arms so that they come out of the water behind your head. That is how you swim Butterfly.

Now I am going to tell you about backstroke. Backstroke is a very easy stroke to learn how to swim. Backstroke is just like freestyle only in backstroke you are laying on your back and moving your arms in a circular motion around your head. The other thing different about backstroke is that your arms go around your head backwards instead of forward. When swimming backstroke your pinky finger should enter the water first and then your thumb should go in last. If you are wondering how to do a backstroke start all you have to do is look at the picture in the middle. That is what you should look like when going into the water. That is how you swim Backstroke.
