Funny, I just discovered that I have much more power when I retain my breath and exhale forcefully just before inhaling. The CO2 is not there within the few seconds. On the contrary, when I exhale as soon as my head is in the water, I loose energy and the power of oxygen that had not the time to reach my brain.
These drills seem to have some TI inspiration. I like it!
I have been trying to swim for almost a year now and still couldn’t swim more than 300 without being exhausted and having to stop or switch to backstroke. 5 minutes of these drills and I swam my first 750 freestyle without stopping! It may have been slow but I was able to do it for the first time ever! Thank you!!!!!
Congrats man!!!!
I so want to do this!!
Awesome :)
Congratulations Dan. I am where you were. Hopefully I can report the same in a week or two.

“Just grab a little bit of oxygen” : words from an expert swimmer who’s not panicking for his life! 😆
😂😂😂😂
I came here to learn how to breathe when swimming and left with life advice. How did that happen?
You described every single problem I’m having while swimming! I apparently have a bit of a problem with relaxing in the pool, I sink easily, and still struggle with breathing, all of it makes my triathlon dreams seem a bit impossible... hopefully I’ll be able to learn how to manage my breath somehow
Just finished the video. The third is sooooo me! My instructor keeps telling me to slow down but I always got panicked and wanted to go to the end of the pool to breath, so I kicked soooo fast and hard and turned out i lost my balance because of the out of breath, and it ruined my entire swimming experience.
Nice tricks and tips!!! Subscribed!
Welcome here, Marvin!
"It's just a casual little 2000m swim."
I am going to the ranch now...
Marvin Anwar 😂😂😂I had the same feeling. Where is the ranch at
Florence Holmen ram ranch
Bro if you compare that to competitive swimmers you get people covering 8000m twice a day at like 12 aha, I'll knock back upwards of 60k a week 😂
Morgz
😂😂😂 that is like 50 minutes of non stop!!! "Casual "
I’m happy to say that after like 20 min or so of sink downs! I’m breathing through my nose and it actually feels much better then mouth, I’m not feeling so much at of breath, I feel more relaxed and more confident when water gets in my mouth and nose!! I can’t get to get to the pool again!!
Stupid question. How do you exhale? All through nose? All though mouth? Both at same time? 2 stage approach, nose 1st then last few seconds with mouth?
Kwana
??!? Elite swimmers do both
The other thing with holding breath in is that it screws your buoyancy up making your legs drop
I'm sinking, I'm sinking! My German coach: "What are you sinking about?"
Taren, I'm curious how you manage your breathing while doing flip turns, as you have to hold your face in water much longer than when you're doing the freestyle stroke. I find that I get a panicky feeling from expelling the air from my lungs too early when I do them as you have to blow out air while flipping to avoid getting water in your nose. I know you've done a video on flip turns and mention they may take months to a year to get used to, but I feel that mostly is because of the breath control aspect. Maybe an updated flip turn instructinoal video with more focus on the breathing is in order soon? I'm sure there are several other viewers that have or are dealing with the same issue...
Same issue here.. flip turns kill my breathing and I end up in panic
What helps me is putting my upper lip over my nose when flipping. You still let out bubbles but not as much. It's more controlled
From this video, the best tip to rememember is: You are NEVER SHORT OF BREATH. You've just built up too much carbon dioxide. Just blow bubbles and you'll be good.
And don't faint🤣
Step 2. Don’t be bad at swimming
You've described some of my breathing issues perfectly! Thanks I'm going to stop doing lengths for a bit and go back to breathing basics👍
Top tips! Does it matter of you breathe out through nose or mouth?
It is better if you breathe out through the nose. It reduces the chances of water getting in to your nose.
@@mukulbhatia4348 ah, good call. Thank you!
These steps aren't bad for a start. I do like to give newbs long fins to help slow down their kick, and to help with rotation.
Thanks for the tune up for a swimmer who swam competitively in High School! Great reminders going forward!
Thanks Taren, it's only been about 6 sessions doing the swim drills you gave me at the trianiac camp, (can I call it Camp David?... never mind) and I'm already running just shy of 15 seconds / 100m faster than when I came to see you! Body is running a lot straighter, (tauntness and alignment improving), breathing is perfect on both sides so quicker breathes as I'm blowing out all the used air prior to lifting my head, and really getting a good aggressive angle with my hand entry (fingers, wrists, elbows), and a better straighter pull. Moving much better and faster thanks to the focused drill set you gave me. Thanks again TT.
And that's just the beginning, Dave!! Keep at it, you'll keep seeing gains. Super happy to hear your progress!!
I've competitivly swam my whole life, I'm petrified of natural body of water, I knew all of these tips and I felt like I was pretty good at all of them, did my first triathlon and first time in a natural body of water and It was more of a panic. Attacks through the whole thing that made it hard for me. And the fact I didn't use a wetsuit made it a bit harder to feel buoyant
I heard that one must train in open water to get some comfort level swimming in it. Pool is such a controlled environment that it just can’t substitute for open water training.
Can't wait to practice these in the pool. Thanks.
Well that explains why I always feel dizzy after swimming. Need a ton more practice. Definitely not a fish.
Time in the pool is the key. Swimming is about the mind as much as the mechanics. The fear that normal people feel, will cause your heart to beat faster, it will cause stress, and because of the faster pulse, and the stress, your muscles will tighten. Once you are stiffened up, you can get cramps, use excessive energy, and hyperventilate. Time in the water helps immensely in calming down, and facing those fears.
you said every other good things but didn't mentioned once how to breath . I though this would be video on how to breath while learning new styles
Blow bubbles
Your breathing technique helped me immensely! I'm doubling my previous swimming sessions and I enjoy it more than ever!
I am a 49 year old who struggles with fear of the water. I have decided it is time to learn to swim. This is so helpful!! Thank you!!!!!
Good decision, I have just learned aged 52, it's fantastic. Get onto it you will love it !
i can easily breath when im swimming breast stroke, why cant i when i swim freestyle? :-(
I'm new and i panic, thank you addressing the exact problem I am facing, I'll try your technique
On January 10, 2024, I could only swim 15 yards ... if you can call it that. I carefully studied your book and focused on breathing, etc. Today, January 29, I was able to swim 75 yards without stopping. 25 yards is now comfortable. Focusing on 25/50 yard segments with workout totals of 300-400 yards. I always practice the breathing exercises BEFORE I start swimming. Thanks for your RUclips channel and book!!!!! You're awesome!!!!
Awesome Don, thanks for this! Would you mind leaving this as a review on Amazon or Goodreads?
Will do!!! On the way to the pool!!!!@@TriathlonTaren
Thanks for the advice - you just popped up on my youtube. I have been swimming for 40+ years with little training and my least favorite stroke is the "freestyle" because I get out of breath too fast. I DO blow bubbles as soon as my face hits the water all the way till it's out but maybe I don't exhale hard enough, I just let it go out naturally. I will try to blow out harder without hyperventilating. I do however kick hard since I thought it would make me go faster and burn more calories. So I'll try to kick more lightly..... what was the third thing - keep my butt at the surface? I think it's there. Anyway going to see if breathing out harder and kicking less does the trick. I haven't yet figured out what I'm doing wrong. I also think my arms don't do much besides guide my stroke but maybe you have a diff vid for that. Nice explanations!
On the other side of the spectrum there are those coaches who do hypoxic workouts. In order to get the swimmers accustomed to high CO2 levels. Yet, it seems like this is a more for hi performance kids approach:) the issue with holding your breath is not only the panic, but also the fact that you end up exhaling when your face is out of the water, instead of using those precious moments for inhaling. So you alternate your stroke timing and keep the face anove water level too long. And your meticulously studied techinique/form goes out the window. Everthing is connected with everything:)
Yes. I was talking to some co-workers who were former competitive swimmers. Their coaches had competitions among the swimmers to see if they could swim full laps without taking a breath, and then who go swim the furthest without a breath. That's just seems nuts to me. I'm sure I take one every meter.
@@evanmacdougall9715 that's really common, most high end/national competitive swimmers can cover 50m without breathing by 15
Part of me wants to move to Winnipeg just to have access to that pool. How is it not slammed with people? I always have to share a lane with 10 people.
Depends on the time of day -- I go after 9am when all of the early morning folks and high performance kids are gone. I get it alllll to myself.
Yeah, that doesn't exist at any pool in Ottawa, from what I can tell. We need to host the PanAm Games to get another facility!
yeah! going to the pool was so terrible during the last two months cause I always felt like I was choking after 50m. can't wait to try out the drills and fall in love with swimming again. thank you!
thanks a lot for the info....i like it....right now i am training my daughter to join an ironman this coming summer...hope i can use this for her training...again thanks a lot
The best advice ive had in 20 years ! Omg you absolutely nailed everything ive been doing wrong … im now on the road to my goals finally Thank You.
Best advice I've heard in my continuous search for learning to swim long distance! Thank you
Hey TT. How do I train with that feeling of having my chest compressed with a wetsuit? That really messed up my races last summer.
The best thing is to do as many open water swims as you can find, there's really no substitute for that. But also, if the feeling is that bad, your suit may be too small!
i thought u meant breathing in and out
Does anyone know what kind of watch he’s using 🧐
This video changed my life! I’ve been so tense under water. The fin technique helped me so much just learning how to have my face in the water. Everything he says about carbon dioxide is spot on. Not breathing out fast enough or taking too much air have been my problems
Thanks, I've only just started to try and learn freestyle, and this is basically the first true beginner's advice I've come across on youtube. I've been trying to work on my technique when I barely even know the basics, and feeling like breathing shouldn't be so hard for me as it is in the water since most "beginner" videos don't actually focus that much on it. But now I'm reaffirmed in my belief that breathing is where it truly starts and I will definitely be doing these drills next time in the pool!
One minute numerous instructors on RUclips would say," learn to hold your breath to be able to swim under water"then, next coach says, "get accustomed to blowing out bubbles soon as you enter the water", I'm like, whose instruction do I follow now? both methods makes sense & also contradicts themselves at the same time. If I hold my breath, I'll be able to be bouyant for a longer period of time but, will build Co2 in no time, on the other hand, if I blow bubble, I'll be Co2 free yet less bouyancy & more leg and arm work which leads to early fatigue & having to actually gasp for more air. Please, somebody correct all these RUclips double-talk 'cos I'm tired of learning nonsense.
You should put your link in the description :)
Oh my gosh you make it sound so easy 😊 I stepped into the pool for the first time today after years of no swimming (beginner by the way) and all the tips went out the window 😂 Oh dear. Will keep at it though 👍🏾
Step 1. Grow gills
Great Taren! I'm just learning to swim correctly and those things you talk about in the video are I'm doing. I'm gonna try just right now! hahaha
Do you have to breathe out through nose? I'm struggling with this.
Im learning how to breathe under water
I’m afraid of getting the water in my nose and drowning at swimming class I’m nervous all the time even when I’m at home I think about it all the time this helped me thank you lol
This is massive for me. I have no issue doing the bike and run but I’m out of breath swimming 50 meters. This is why I have not committed to triathlon. I will check the program out. Thankyou very much.
Thanks for sharing you explain so we'll , appreciate I need to keep practicing 😃😃😃😃😃
Blow out trough nose or mouth? And is it different for swimming in the sea?
I personally blow out through my nose and breathe in through my mouth :)
Wow!! Being science minded - this was a wonderful break down of what I was doing wrong. I practiced with your drills, then put it to practice!! Incredible - I have gone from doing 200m and then feeling like I am going to die, and now doing 800m comfortably. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much. It helps that your speaking is nice and calm too.
1. Breathing (sink downs and blow out) 2. Floating (Superman floats, hands on side of pool and feet up) 3. Slow the hell down (pool edge & small flutter kicks, flutter kick w fins while extending 1 arm)
Dude, your tips were fantastic! It's also soothing to hear you talk about swimming.
This was very educational. Thank you
Hi, I'm not a great swimmer, could never put my head in the water. But have recently been teaching myself using utube videos and practice. So I thought a nose clip has been helping me but what I think is it's actually not as it's reducing how much oxygen I'm getting in as I'm exhausted and out of breath after 25m. I think my technique is better with the nose clip as when I try without I'm more panicky and can't seem to breathe out my nose so totally messed up my technique, it's so frustrating and feel a bit stuck to try get better with a clip or without?!
How can I get rid of the diving reflex? I don't have a problem putting my head under water but as soon as I exhale a certain amount of air my nose hits the alarm button and my throat shuts. I cannot exhale anymore although there's still some air left in my lungs. As soon as my mouth leaves the water my body forces me to gulp first and get rid of the water up my nose. I can't even do one damn set of strokes because my nose keeps telling me I am drowning. I'm so frustrated :(
This is pretty much how I was thought to swim in the beginning. Now I already swim better than a stone! 🙂
Great tips! Any advice for mouth breathers? I don’t wear plugs but find my nose is stuffier than most so feels easier to me. Get over that thought or is that ok?
Good swim tips, as always! Maximizing comfort level in the water was integral to improving my swimming, especially as a new adult swimmer. I learned when I got tired/tense to roll into a side stroke or even just backstroke or back float so I knew I had that to fall back on if things got sketchy. Learning the vertical float built my confidence even more--you don't even have to scull to stay afloat and upright in a position where you can look around and see what's around you. With that comfort level, I felt better about pushing myself with any new concepts.
Should be breath out in the water with nose or mouth ? Unfortunately I learned swimming with nose clip, now without the nose clip I can't swim can please tell me what should I do? 😥
When I try sink downs I dont drop as I breathe out, I just stay with the water level abou the top of my head lol. Am I doing something wrong?
How to stop water from entering the airways via the nose. I am exhaling into the water through my nose and inhaling with my mouth, but on inhaling, the water that is left in the nose is entering my airways. This is the only thing that is stopping me. I am starting to choke and have to stop, stand and cough. Thanks
Thank you for the tips, if you can get comfortable breathing in the water I think 80% of learning to swim is done.
As a swimmer I do believe everything you said will help but one thing is don’t blow out to much because then you will be gasping for air to early. Also when you blow out you will have a harder time staying on the surface because you let the air in your lungs out. Other than that it’s all good.
I really can’t nail the breathing how quickly am I breathing out my nose in the water?
How should i survive pain in nose for example when i want to jump into water? 😅 I can not do this because i panic and i need to get out to breath Air and cough. Pls help i am desperate 🙏
Instant saved!!
another thing that I discovered is that in order to go with the flow, it is necessary to move the legs in an arythmic way that goes with the push of the arms. A rythmic paddle of the legs interferes with the flow.
I have a diviated septum. Is ok to blow out through my moth instead of nose?
Thanks for your tips for swimming.
the most helpful video from thousands of similar videos!
you're talking about me. Are you sure you don't know me ?😀
Is there perhaps a technique where you’d breathe on one head turn and exhale on the next?
Swimming is a mind game
With this drill, can you blow out with your mouth and inhale with your nose? Or does it have to be the other way around?
i didnt get the superman float, if i breathe out wont i just sink?
I guess we can try the one arm kick and breathe even without fins, isn't it?
hi i make a goal that i want to swin across lake washington and i need some modavation cause it is 2.1 mi long
My favourite of your many fantastic videos. Thanks very much for posting this!! 👍
I am unable to find the website domain you mentioned in your video
how to join your program for swimdrill now?
Your voice is fantastic!
breath out underwater through mouth or nose? or it is same? thx
I can so relate to this! You have described exactly what a "trying to be triathlete" feels! I am new and I panic. Thank you. I will try your plan
That swim drill program changed/improved my swimming!! Thanks again!
Great advice, but is it better to breathe out from your nose or mouth?
Nose, if you are not in hurry...if swimming fast...breath out from mouth
When you say blow out air, is that from the nose or mouth?
Truly unbelievable. This morning I watched this video, and right after I tried following the recommendations made. The result for me was nothing short of stunning. After many sessions of struggling to swim easier and longer, I managed to swim 800 meters calmly, instead of the 100 meters before. Many many thanks for the video!
Fantastic to hear!
Total Immersion swimming techniques. Even used the same terminology with the superman glide.
Total Immersion isn't the only group that uses the term superman glide, it's very common. And, if you've followed me for any length of time, you'll know my swimming is all based on what I've learned from Tower 26 and Brenton Ford's "Effortless Swimming", both of whom I work with. I don't work with Total Immerson at all. Don't make judgements before you've watched more than one video.
Triathlon Taren dont make judgements with just one comment. 🙂 i was simply noting the similarities between what you were describing about and what id learnt from TI. Ive watched a few of your vids on various topics not just this. 👍
Is it blowing out of nose and mouth?
Thanks a lot for this video. At some point, I concluded that there has to be a hole in my lungs leaking the oxygen as I run out of gas quickly (joke). When I take in air, it is not enough to keep me going. I am definitely trying out your advice. Thanks so much, mate!
how do you breath in butterfly
Can't wait to try these this evening! Thanks for these great tips.
Judy Polstra same!
So helpful. Thank you!
Wow thank you. I can't wait to try these tips.
Hey that's a very good advice, thanks a lot
Thanks for the advise! I always feel like I am kicking too much
