  1. SWIMMER ARJUN MURALIDHARAN – THE BUTTERFLY BEAST

  2. Swimming, considered one of the most well-known sports globally, consists of many different strokes ranging from minimal difficulty to maximum difficulty levels. One such stroke is the Butterfly stroke. It is a very distinctive swim stroke and it looks spectacular, but because of its difficulty, it is an exhausting stroke even for accomplished swimmers. There are swimmers across the globe who perform the butterfly stroke beautifully, and one such name is Arjun Muralidharan. Arjun Muralidharan Swimmer is one of those individuals who has mastered the difficult butterfly stroke and has succeeded in becoming one of the best in this category. It won’t be a stretch to call him “The Butterfly Beast”.

  3. What is the Butterfly Technique? The butterfly stroke is a swimming stroke swum on the chest, with both arms moving symmetrically, accompanied by the butterfly kick along with the movement of the hips and chest. It is stated to be a difficult swimming stroke because it boasts a higher peak velocity than the front crawl, owing to the synchronous propulsion generated by the simultaneous pull/push of both arms and legs. However, due to the pronounced drop in speed during the recovery phase, it is marginally slower than the front crawl, especially over extended distances. Furthermore, the butterfly stroke demands a different level of physical exertion, contributing to its slower overall pace than the front crawl.
