It is not illegal to breathe every time. You can breath as often as is comfortable for you. The only exception is breaststroke in which your head must break the surface of the water every time.
Also, make sure you are exhaling through your nose when your face is in the water; don't hold your breath.

Perfect legs-arms movement interaction in six-beats mode!
Professor Haliand would use him as THEE example!!!

[@BboyTense123]

@Meowws its called a finger tip drag drill, its supposed to improve freestyle form by keeping the fingers near the water but not exactly touching which reduces drag and allows for more and longer strokes. Even pro swimmers have to work on developing good form in any stroke cause form can make or break a race.

@will825x I swim competitively and we do this in practice, we call it "catch up" We call it this because one of your arms has to "catch up" to the other because you need to move. It teaches better arm movement to reach out more to get to the wall first. And it teaches better stroking techniques as well.

[@bonogun]

look at those FEET

[@2ShaePussyCat]

Look how far his ankles bend @_@

[@catisgod]

wow, that's super useful

[@will825x]

I don't swim competitively, but it looks like his arm is out in front of him for so long because after he puts it in the water he stretches out forwards as far as possible to get a longer stroke

[@2416la]

@nevereven55 if you don't keep your arm out you head is taking all the water and no stream line in the water

[@huxco]

@nevereven55 I Know what you mean. Thorpe does the same. One hand is always ahead of their heads. That doesnt happen in Popov´s technique:

[@adamroflll]

yeah, its a common drill among competitive swimmers called catch up. you leave your leading arm out as you swing your other arm around. it helps you get a better feel of the "catch" (or the beginning of your underwater pull).

[@2416la]

@chrisgelb no I breath like he does the less you breath the faster you go

[@twizack22]

@nevereven55 you are probably moving smoother. Smooth is fast and fast is smooth.

[@ChrisGonthePC]

@nevereven55 this is just a training technique

[@just4caps]

why is there a swastika on your homepage?

[@imaninjaeys]

why is their a random pic of bob bowman in there..?
