Swimming workout: How to breathe forward in butterfly.

Today's post is another great swimming workout that will help you with the breath in butterfly. Butterfly breathing should be as low as possible and should aim to drive the body forward. If it's not done properly, it ruins the body's streamling and stops forward progress. This causes a great loss of energy, which is essential for swimming all strokes and especially the butterfly stroke.
