Teaching Adults How to Swim Butterfly: Mel Goldstein 

The discussion focused on teaching adults the butterfly stroke, emphasizing efficiency over speed. The process involves progressing through 10 steps, starting with basic body flow and dolphin dives. Key techniques include chest-hip-chest-hip movements, maintaining body position, and breathing at the top of the stroke. Drills like the stone skipper and finger in the back drill are used to develop proper timing and recovery. Fins are recommended to help swimmers focus on body position and undulation. The importance of not kicking too early and allowing feet to follow the body was highlighted. The approach aims to build on each step gradually, ensuring mastery before moving to the next.
