Just a small note: If you keep on swimming regularly ( let's say at least 3-4 times a week ), your breathing will optimize itself naturally. Without realizing you'll start exhaling just before putting your head above the surface and you will only exhale as much as necessary. No worries if things don't work out directly.
Yeah. Another small note. If you do anything you're not used to for like a hundred hours, that thing is going to feel a lot more natural than it did before that effort ;) I've been struggeling with this and more of the basics for just 3 weeks, 2-3 times a week and man is it hard. Even if I got the first two exercises down, I sink like a rock if I rotate to the side and lift one arm out of the water.
I look like an idiot when I swim. No one taught me. It takes me 45 seconds to get to one end to the other and I choke on water constantly. But I’m trying! Slowly and surely.
I hope you have seen some good improvements! I am 100% self-taught, I rely heavily on video content to learn what I should be doing. I have seen a lot of improvement from just experimenting and testing what feels right, and was finally able to swim a mile in under an hour this week. Not exactly a speedy accomplishment, but it meant a lot to me :)
This is the first time I have clearly understood how and when to breathe in and breathe out . Do not laugh if I say that I am still learning though I am now 76 . Thanks from India .
@@sohamroy7668 Thank you , Soham, for your appreciation .Yes , I regularly try to swim in free style and back stroke in a correct way . Regular yoga and swimming have kept me free from any metabolic disorder .
@@pajeet-cel3484 I agree with you but I have a strong desire to remain active and that^s why I practise yoga, breathing exercise like pranayam and swimming . I also engage myself in gardening . Thank you for encouraging me .
I took me a long time drowning at the pool to feel like I'm finally gliding through water. Every little technique update was drowning all over again until it becomes second nature..I'm still not satisfied, but improvement is definitely there :-)
The tip, to not to exhale all my air did it for me. I've been going to classes since September and I was not able to get it right unitll this weekend. Thank you!
Dude, I watched your video yesterday and today I tried to follow your breathing technique and to my surprise it worked man, damn i can't belive it. I can't wait for tomorrow to continue honing this skill. thanks, bro.
Currently trying to figure out how to do this and it’s HARD. I have a massive anti drowning reflex of some kind when I breath in water trying to do this. Just short circuits my brain and I stop swimming to catch a real breath. Gonna be interesting to overcome this one haha Great video!
Joe H Hate to admit this but I trained a few times for about a month and then I stopped completely. Only been focusing on my long distance running since haha. Would love to learn some day so I can do an iron man but we will see!
@@Mrjuhlino try some super basic breathing drills. Just standing against the wall. Or buoy drills. It will help you relax and get comfortable underwater
WOW, I have been watching a lot of swimming videos and see everybody has own techniques. Most people say start exhaling as soon as your head goes under water and keep it until you inhale again so that you don't accumulate CO2 in your lungs. What Skill NT says is totally opposite, but I am willing to try it. I guess the key is to figure it out with lots and lots of practice.
I watched this video last night, and put it to the test today and was able to shave 2 and a half minutes off my 1,000 m pb... Incredible. Honestly, i was quite sceptical about only begging to breath out through my nose when my head is coming up for air. But it clearly worked a treat, felt i had more energy and took less time resting. Thank you so much for the video.
OMG! I've been struggling to breathe in freestyle for the last few days, watched tons of videos but nothing helped. Until I found this one. Your suggestion of breathing out just as you turn your head was all I needed. Finally I got the breath right! Thank you.
Started swimming lessons again. I was told to exhale all the time while looking down but the advice to just exhale as you turn your head for a breath makes sense to me. Exhaling all the time leaves my breathing out of sync. I'll try this. Thanks
Is it normal when you do the first exercise, I can only inhale back around 5 times before my chest starts to hurt (like wanting to breath normally)? Or does by practice I should be able to do the exercise for a longer period of time? Beginner swimmer... :)
well you can gauge an estimate? just thinking on my feet here, if you get a long balloon used for making balloon animals etc, you could get a pretty good idea how big it gets from a full lung exhalation, then half of that is near enough 50% lung capacity, half *that* is 25 and so that's a decent guide. or, in a slow, controlled full breath in and out, time it several times until each breath in or out is taking just about the same time from empty to full or vice versa (lets say 5 secs), and then divide that time into tenths or whatever, and there you can count each 10%, and get a feel for what 10% or 20% or 50% etc really feels like. so if you can time from empty lungs to full lungs as 5 seconds of smooth flow, each second is another 20% lung capacity. then if you try to just limit it to lose that final 30% that way, you'll know how it feels in your body to withhold the final 30% or so (although when practising this kinda stuff be careful to have breaks with full breathing so you don't get dizzy!)
Most of d coaches teaches to start exhaling just before entering into d water and exhale completely in d water and then to turn our head to take a breath...but hear u said really different thing to do, K will try to practice it and see how it feels, thanks for d video
I am newbie swimmer , as observed I get lot of burps when swimming . Can you tell what causes this and how to avoid ? Or is it good to burp ? Thanks !!
I cannot lift my head, even if I do, I just take in water. Do we need to deliberately jump up to breathe? Also, do we have to purse one side of our mouth to take in the water?
Struggle alot to breathe correctly When you exhale under water...always keep the breath rather than exhale..watched few diff videos with diff suggestions given. Do you actually open your mouth abit to exhale or just blow out...fearful of taking in water then by that way but really dont know. I can swim but only with head above...really want to get this. Thanks
Is the swimmers mouth open and intaking water into it at the end of the in -breath? Looks like that and that they are holding water in their mouth at the start of the breath cycle.
I was quite surprised to hear that I should hold my breath in the beginning and then breathe out just in those few seconds before I breathe in again. I tried, and it worked, but only with hard concentration. Cause before watching your video I was always told to exhale constantly under water in order to avoid anxiety. Could you explain exactly the difference (Holding or not holding your breath at the beginning)? And could you tell me why it makes a difference, if you exhale through your nose? And what was the other video you talked about? Me gustan tus videos. Son muy divertidos y me ayudan tanto!!!!
Same opinion and question from my side also? I too learnt that one should start exhaling just before entering in d water and exhale completely, then turn your head to inhale
I live in Australia In a country town and I do swimming club and We do 33 laps of freestyle including a tumble turn without stopping and I get SUPER TIRED and If you don't swim to the edge you need to do 20 Burpies + another 10 if you didn't do a somersault at the end (Or at least tried) so could you mabey make a video on how to control your breathing while doing everything at once
+Emi Ramirez in the 50 I suggest breathing the least amount of times possible. In the 100 just get into a rhythm that is comfortable for you and that is faster for you. For example if I start breathing every 2 my arms spin faster but I don't catch as much water so I'm actually slower. Some people are faster breathing every 2. So you need to figure that for yourself
Exactly as Skills NT said. I suggest you try to keep it as low as possible. For example, in my case, in 50m I would only catch air a couple of times to the wall (25) and make máximum use of momentum -I'd catch air especially before the flip turn. In 100m sprint, I'd breathe every 6 strokes at first, and try to keep it every 4 strokes as much as possible.
I tend to sink when I turn my head for breathing in freestyle, and feel water on top of my face. So basically not able to breathe as I fear I will swallow water. Any tips here?
Can someone please explain why some people say you should constantly see bubbles when your head is under water vs what you just said...only breath out shortly before you breath in?
My question exactly. Every other trainer has a different approach. The people at SwimSmooth, for instance, are adamant that exhaling *all the time* while underwater prevents your legs from sinking too much by avoiding your chest being too buoyant. I have a feeling this is one of those things that may vary immensely depending on many factors, e.g., how many air remains in your lungs before breathing, or how fast you exhale.
i actually tried to imply his advise and I am not 100% sure, but I felt great today. I wasn't able to do it all the time (getting rid of patterns takes time) but I felt that this technique made me more relaxed and led to me taking quicker breaths.
+Dan Noz yes I know some people teach exhaling the whole time but in my experience you can do a better more relaxed technique with a little bit of buoyancy in the upper body. Once you dominate that, it is easier to swim at a fast pace with this technique. Like you said it take time to get rid of old habits, only through repetition you get good. Thanks for trying my advice, your feedback is really important to me.
It's my theory... This breathing skill is effective for pool swimming or short distance swimming... The other breathing skill that you mentioned is good for long distance or open water swimming. In pool environment, there's less surface drag... When swimming short distance, you have enough stamina.... But in open-water, there's so much surface drag caused by wave and choppy water. When you swim long distance, you need to be energy-efficient. So it would be disadvantageous when you get higher in the water.
Is ‘humming’ underwater correct? Also, I feel like my lungs are always to full to take in anymore air, yet I need to put my mouth out of water to exhale... I’m exhausted and out of breath by a few laps....
When you were practising with the first technique (the one where you are holding onto the wall), did you keep kicking your leg to stay afloat? Sorry I am new to swimming haha
Today was day 1 of trying these. Choked on water quite a few times. But it’s still progress. I get really anxious under water. But I was able to take one quick breath successfully in my entire 45 min swim session. It ain’t much but it’s honest work.
When I was a kid, they taught us to keep the hand tucked in and crawl it up the length of the body as we reached forward, this swimmer seemed to be bringing his arm further away from his body, which is best?
When I try these techniques water enters into my ears.Also I have difficulties breathing with nose.What should I do.I swim a lot but because I haven't mastered the breathing technique i swim with my head above the water.
+Jack Mara you can put your swim cap above our ears, although that won't solve the problem. Water enters in my ears too. I'm used to it but you can try earplugs. You don't really have to use your nose, you can do it through your mouth if that is easier for you
find a good quality earplugs.. I was caught with an ear infection when I had started to learn swimming. and now I have advanced in swimming ,even now I wear..good Luck
I use earplugs and the cap over my ears. Not only does it keep the water out but muffles external noise and distractions. I cannot swim effectively without earplugs. It's very uncomfortable.
Hi. I was stuck at the breathing step for a very long time. Exercises in Your video really helped me.. Especially the 1st and 2nd one. Thanks and keep up the good work
Oh my God... I have got a deaf ear trying to take a breath .... And runny nose.. i drank too much water that i can travel in a desert for the rest of my life

how does one know how many percent of air from the lung he exhales
well you can gauge an estimate? just thinking on my feet here, if you get a long balloon used for making balloon animals etc, you could get a pretty good idea how big it gets from a full lung exhalation, then half of that is near enough 50% lung capacity, half *that* is 25 and so that's a decent guide.

exactly I have exactly the same question. looks like we have to be a mathematician while swimming...
Just don't fill your lungs to capacity. Which is the mistake we all make when learning to swim.
For such fast split second calculations use a calculator

Thanks,after watching your video, I know how to breath
Yes but, can you do it?
Also, why can I exhale more easily when I am horizontal than when I am vertical (for example, when I am bobbing)?
This video is excellent because I got to know how to breathe while swimming in one day
Uh, no way.
I cannot lift my head, even if I do, I just take in water.
Do we need to deliberately jump up to breathe?
