butterfly stroke is really easy as long as you have the right techneque, it works better if you concentrate more on your arms as the kick is really simple.

WP:CITE

I've added the {{cite-sources}} template to the head of the article, because it's full of opinions, particularly to how difficult butterfly stroke is. There needs to be at least one reliable authoritative source which comments on the technical difficulty of the stroke cited, which would justify a lot of what is wrong with the article.

Yeah, IMost students' is ambiguous and not true. I swim breaststroke and I can tell you that I think breaststroke is every bit as hard, because as fly techniqure gets better it gets easier, but it's the opposite for breaststroke. Not to mention, most of my team is in agreement. It's harder to take fly slow, but easier to go fast. So let's avoid such words.Collun 02:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

speed?

Something seems to be wrong with the speeds listed here. This article says that front crawl swimmers can achieve ~3.5 km/h, which is less than 1m/s. The breaststroke article states that breaststroke swimmers can achieve ~1.6m/s, and breaststroke is obviously slower than the front crawl. ~~
