The problem addressed in this study is related to the suboptimal butterfly stroke swimming skills of beginner athletes at the SeaRIA Aquatic Swimming Club. This study aims to describe the level of butterfly stroke swimming skills of beginner athletes at SeaRIA Aquatic Swimming Club. The subjects of the study were beginner athletes aged 7–9 years at SeaRIA Aquatic Swimming Club. The instrument used was a butterfly stroke swimming skills test. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and video recording technology based on the results of the butterfly stroke swimming performance. Skill assessment was carried out by three licensed judge. The assessment of 11 athletes showed that the level of mastery of butterfly stroke swimming skills included: (1) body position mastery of 71.77%, categorized as good; (2) arm movement mastery of 63.69%, categorized as good; (3) leg movement mastery of 50.56%, categorized as fair; (4) breathing technique mastery of 63.18%, categorized as good; and (5) movement coordination mastery of 58.64%, categorized as fair.
