  • butterflystyler83 says:

    some people by the alabey athletic club area, will watch this and think, i could get a swimming job at expert village, if Phil has a job, any 1 can rite, its not like hes a good teacher, as for comment on how they supply us wit free videos, most swimmers wit half a brain will know people only go on these videos to buzz off the shite shown and phil’s egg head lol

  • aJDfMDl says:

    @blueflamex171, yes, u kick from ur hips, that is the worst butterfly kick i have ever seen in my life.

  • aJDfMDl says:

    wtf? u use ur hips to do butterfly kick, not ur knees, idiot.

  • butterflystyler83 says:

    Dear Philip your videos are terrible, your probably a decent chap and are doing the right by trying to help others to swim, but i speak for the majority of You Tube swimmers when saying, theres a fine line between teaching and misleading others with technique, i know of a timekeeper job u could do at a gala instead

  • butterflystyler83 says:

    u never said hey i can swim like a dolphin

    Mr Toriello what u did was said i can kick like a retard on medication

    your teaching skills are bout as good as eric mousambabi’s freestyle

    you should not give up your day job, and stop misleading others with poor technique, if u want to learn to swim join the masters swimming clubs, not online expert village club, philip u look like a retard doing eggbeater lol

  • Tvor1128 says:

    This is so wrong. Who is this guy?

  • Xenophobia777 says:

    @blueflamex171 You’re supposed to use your lower back to push the whole kick through, and you can use your knees for a second kick.

  • blueflamex171 says:

    Isn’t the kick like this?
    Close your legs, and don’t seperate them.
    Move your hips, don’t bend your knees.
    And you’re supposed to move your chest right?It’s almost like dancing. This guy is horrible at swimming AND teacher.

  • blueflamex171 says:

    That’s wrong.You’re not supposed to use your knees…aren’t you supposed to move your hips?

  • Flobar90 says:

    @VitzDa i understand what your saying but if your going to put a video on here i expect for the information to be correct i would love to post a teaching video on how to propperly swim butterfly But as a certified swim ininstructor i know that video is not the best way to learn it
    over all the information he puts on here is false i know i am a state level swimmer and i also swim for college so i know what i’m talking about if you really want to learn the stroke find a teacher not a video

  • Davidisg0d says:

    well this is wrong your suppoesd to use everyhting from ur chest down and your kneews should make the main movement

  • mikic0 says:

    dude u suck

  • VitzDa says:

    For me, expert village really helps a lot in my swimming practice.
    But somehow, I wonder why there is people who complain about expert village and Mr. Phillip Toriello that what they teach is retarded and doesn’t help at all. Hey guys, they upload this video free, what are you guys expecting?
    If you guys is that good to complain about, why don’t you upload a swimming lesson video for all of us?? So, please stop complaining. Please.

  • Inferfire says:

    Its the whole body that uses the stroke, With your hands pointed forward for a guide and your chest going through the motion, but you propel and get speed by legs from your hips down.

  • oooeee04 says:

    Huuuuhhhhhh?????
    I always use like my whole body when I attempt to do this stroke, you’re suppose to end at the knees?!

  • Flobar90 says:

    I sorry I am a state level swimmer and a WSI i know that the butterfly kick you use your whole body and you messed up you first said from knees down then change it from hips down haha i thought it was so funny

  • ourswimcoach says:

  • tywrizzle says:

  • ZanStan300 says:

  • wazupify101 says:

  • MrAvrilLee says:

    different person swim with different motion.
    the butterfly arms motion of jimmydshea was different from phelps obviously ;
    the front crawl arms motion of phelps was different from chris thomas;

    no single solution
