1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing terry ... stick to freestyle, April 14, 2008

By	C Brit "cynicalbrit" (SLC UT United States) - See all my reviews

40 years as a freestyle swimmer gives authority to teach, 40 minutes as a butterfly swimmer does not. Watching a middle aged man give tips standing waist deep in a pool is vaguely embarrassing and poor use of video. The two insights given ( pierce the water and move over your anchored hands ) are hardly worth the price of admission. The Go-Swim video with Misty Hyman is more structured, helpful and insightful for an improvement-minded swimmer

5.0 out of 5 stars Master's butterfly review, October 5, 2008

By	E. Reeher "Humbledaisy" (Saint Paul, MN) - See all my reviews

Wow, I could have used this butterfly lesson years ago. I did butterfly as a kid swimmer - mostly, just gutting it out with youth and energy - but without any finesse. As an adult, that wasn't working for me. I've been doing the described drills after my workouts and have definitely seen a change in my stamina and strength. I highly recommend this dvd. Once again, however, I wish there would have been information about turns and pushoffs as that is something I'll need in Masters' competitions. Great verbal imagery to help you think about your body position and effort.
