How to Breathe When Swimming Freestyle
Swim better and faster with my program: www.fiverr.com/s/2Kpx93r
Breathing when swimming Freestyle is super simple. All you need to do is maintain a low head position and time your exhale and inhale correctly. However these concepts are unfamiliar to beginner swimmers.
In this video I explain the importance of having a low head position in freestyle and timing the freestyle breath correctly. Combined, these contribute to a faster and more efficient breath, leading to a greater Freestyle technique.

You are doing great but I'll remind you that too much kicking might be the reason behind your stroke rate. I struggled with it a lot and finally its now under control
That's an interesting viewpoint. I find that having a higher kick more easily translates to a high stroke rate
bro underwater you have to maintain a streamline position, arms and body follow the waves of the legs but remain still you don't have to move that much, you only have to move your legs.
Nice
Hi Lachlan this is Prahalad your old neighbour I saw your video and like it I’m also a swimmer
Hi Prahalad, great to hear from you! Hope the swimming is going well :)
U are not holding water
42 strokes!!!!
You should join a masters club brother. Then you can dive and get your official times. We have the NSW masters champs at home bush on April each year and you get electronic times etc
Is there a minimum required age my friend? I'm only 22 years old
bro look when you get out of the water after the push how much you slow down, you get out of the water too late and you lose all the speed you gained under water, you have to get out slightly earlier by hitting your body to get to the surface
Thanks mate - was actually planning on swimming this week's 50 without any underwaters. Will be interesting to see how much of a difference no underwater makes
yoo can we see a running series? thanks
Haha for now I'm keeping the content swimming focused. But in the future, what running content would you like to see?
@@SwimStrongwithLachlanmaybe like short vlogs on your runs and stuff, you're really good at long distances!
29 off a push start is good going! I wonder what that translates to with a dive
Thank you! With a dive a mid to high 28
why dont you dive into the water
Members of the public are not allowed to unfortunately
@@SwimStrongwithLachlan thats weird
My friend is a swimmer in his time is 00:27:56❤😂
Your friend is fast!
Homebush? Great time for no dive brother!
Correct my friend. Hopefully 28 is on the cards soon
A little crossover on the left arm
I've noticed this too - doesn't seem to be too much of an issue though
try to put more force with your pull while your arm is in the water. watch 2019 caeleb dressel for near perfect technique
I think you start your dolphin kicks a tad bit too early
Ideally yes but realistically I want no wasted time gliding, so it'd be better to go straight into them
@@SwimStrongwithLachlan ahh I guess if it's from a dive start you could get away with a longer glide :)
Thats pretty impressive my fastest 50 free was 34 seconds and I was training for 1 year that time
Mate that's still a great time!
I was swimming in a 50 meter pool yesterday (i'm used to 25 meter) and kept running out of steam after about a 2/3rd lap... Good to see that it's not just me. By the way, 2 breaths only jesus holy frick!
Agree there's a huge difference between swimming in a 25 and 50 meter pool!
Your technique is ALOT better than before keep up the good work bro 😊
Thank you! That means so much
Nice video.
Glad you enjoyed it mate
how can you swim 50m. in a 25 meters pool with one breath only. and why are you doing this ?
That was nOt one breath. >:(
@@slththemonker6652 I think he means taking one breath of air during the swim. and I did only see one, right after turning.
You should do smaller underwater but more
Great camera work. Do you get a professional to do it or is it just your dad?
I usually get my dad to film for me
@@SwimStrongwithLachlan I know. He told me himself 😂.
@@joecorr1853 He's a master of his craft haha
Are you based in Sydney brother?
Yes mate!
@@SwimStrongwithLachlan me too. Guess we’re both immigrants here 😂. South African I assume? I’m Kiwi
@@richardtrass Born and raised here man - first time I've ever gotten South African haha
@@SwimStrongwithLachlan I’ve obviously been here too long. I’m losing my ability to pick accents. Hope the city to surf went well brother
@@richardtrass Cheers mate - ended up getting 53 minuntes
Under waters need work. Getting passed the flags should be a no brainer
If your goal is to be an efficient swimmer and you are not concerned with how quickly you can finish then some things to work on: 1) Breath as many times as you need, you should not be trying to hold your breath that long 2) Focus more on elongating each stroke which will help produce more of a glide 3) Think of a more piercing of the water with each hand entry, this is to help produce more efficient motion. It looks like you are doing a good job at that with your left but not as well with your right 4) Think of your hand more as an anchor point in the water , the effect being that your hand moves backward at the same speed that your body moves forward. I noticed your hand is moving faster which tells me you are pulling too hard and your hand appears to appear to be slipping. 5) your head is a little high when you went to breath. Try to focus on the top of your head pointing directly to the wall you are swimming to. The goal is have your head parallel with the water even while turning to breath ( I am still working on that myself). Overall I would say you look like a very strong freestyler, I would say practice at a slow pace to refine your basics, work on one improvement at a time, and work on good breathing habits. I have no idea what my 50m time would be. My goal is to swim efficiently and effortlessly as possible. Addition: I didn’t notice this is your week 29. I looked at your week 26 and your hand anchor is much better. You are also cleaner with your hand entry. So it appears that you know these things already. I would work on your techniques but slower. Something you want to avoid is swimming too fast or tired and ingraining the wrong technique into muscle memory. Most of your pool time should be deliberate drills to improve on weak areas. Per day I would focus on one to two weak areas.
Breathe
Head position
please clarify, are you training aside from the weekly sprint?
Yes I currently swim twice a week outside of the weekly 50
When you push off the wall your body must point downwards or at least be straight (if it is inclined upwards it makes no sense to start underwater), you must come up from the diving board before reaching the water level so as not to create friction, in the first strokes you don't have to concentrate on speed but on power and only shortly after accelerate the frequency. In the water you have to try to stretch as much as possible, your arm remains too bent and too wide under water.
why only two breaths?
The less breaths you take the more efficient your body position is in the water
is it yards or meter ?
Meters
Very good explanation of high elbow catch vs straight arm. I like how you mentioned the “lever” and gave examples to illustrate what you meant. Thanks for sharing 🎉
Thanks mate! I'm glad you found it helpful
always make sure i listen to the aussies when it comes to swimming... Even tho Im American 😂
Haha if the Olympics are anything to go by we know our swimming quite well
Go to gym and get stronger, you dont even need to be that fit. I used to swim a 23 flat when i was 19 and hardly used to push myself in training.
Any gym programs in particular? I gym quite often but with an aesthetics focus
Looking good!! I’d say breathe every four on the first length and then breathe as little as you can on the second! Will hopefully help your breakout after the tumble turn
Thanks for the tips George! Curious as to why you think there should be more breaths on the first lap compared to the second
@@SwimStrongwithLachlan you mentioned taking too much time to take a breath so i was thinking you may have needed a breath or two on the first length! Get into the wall and out of it as quick as possible with a good break out! I just watched it again.. maybe stick a breath in the first length.. going at ‘easy speed’ and max out the second length with as little breaths as possible. Finish harder!!
When iwas 18 my personal best was 22.4 s 50m and in 100m 54 sec but i left swimming because of studies i wanted to improve more.. but parents didn't allowed 😢😢😢
Mate those were some great times! You should definitely consider going back into it
Hi mate. I definitely don’t think you should glide the way you might for a longer race (as in highly front quadrant biased) but I’ve certainly found that if I don’t focus too much on high stroke rate and look to make sure I keep stroke length high I swim faster. Based on the video you’re not gliding anyways so if that mental cue helps maintain stroke length it’s probably not a bad one. I think with a deep catch its very hard to have a super high stroke rate without shortening the stroke or slipping water so focusing on catching more water with a straight arm pull is probably best and you can build to increased stroke rate from there (if you can do it without slipping water on the pull).
Great insights mate! I agree, I'm trying to find the right balance between stroke rate and stroke length/efficiency. With these latest swims you'll hopefully start to see a difference
great swim maybe next time take a start and wear a cap good idea on switching your pull
Maybe soon my friend
Nice video Sir
Thanks Richard - was a fun video to make
You're gonna become the Saitama of swimming
Haha thank you
Try adding another breath so your kick doesn’t lose power and focus on maintaining a fast stroke rate. Just my opinion. Keep up the great work 😊
Thanks for the tip! I still believe the less breaths taken the better however :)
Yeah underwaters need work, you should be going from dolphin kicks to flutter kicks underwater. Should also be coming out a body length past the flags after pushoff.
Thank you for the tip! Really pushed the underwater this week (31)
How do you tag this
2 breaths maybe too little. Add one in there. Work on your kicking power and see if you can do more anaerobic workouts to imrpove your bodys ability to swim without oxygen. Small sets at 90% with no more than 5 seconds rest.
Agree with the anarobic sets - respectfully disagree with the breathing. Each breath slows you down as you as the head raises and the legs sink ever so slightly.
@SwimStrongwithLachlan It's true. Each breath slows you down at that specific time, but it also oxygenated your body, which gives you a boost. You have to balance the two. I think if you're doing long course 50, without a turn, 2 breaths is fine. But if you're doing short course, turns and pushoffs are energy intensive, adding a 3rd breath in the middle of the second 50 going into the finish may help. But these things are personal preference, so you should try and experiment. See what works.
Underwater kicks will drop 2 seconds of your time. Look up Caleb dressel’s slow mo. He is a beast
Cheers mate - fully agree with you there. Really worked on the underwaters this week (31)
I am 13and I can do 26 for fifty free. I think I’m you can improve a lot by adding more to your underwater to gat the opening speed in.
Thanks mate agreed. Check out my latest swim (31). Really pushed the underwaters there
Do you swim 50 meters with two arms and one breath?
That's not 50m
It's a 25m pool, so 2 lengths is 50m
push off the wall deeper in the water for longer underwaters
Check out my latest swim (31). Really worked on the underwaters there.
Your left arm is crossing over your central plane. This is causing you to zig zag down the lane. It was mentioned before, but try training your underwater. If you get to the 12-13 m mark and time your break out, you’ll have a much smoother transient and save your arms. I can tell that you’re pull heavy. I do the same. I would also take one less stroke into the flip turn. Do you know your average stroke count?
