100m Butterfly
Kick, stroke, and breathe!
Lets Dive In!
The 100 meter butterfly is one of the events in the Olympics for swimming. It is one of the four strokes in Olympic swimming. It was discovered by swimmers when they realized they could swim faster by bringing their arms forward over their heads. Soon after, the butterfly stroke became a part of the Olympics.
