How should you breathe on your side when swimming

We breathe 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so why is it so difficult to breathe when we get in the water? Breathing and sinking legs are the two most common issues that swimmers encounter. So today we're going to look at some tips for making it easier to breathe in the water and almost as natural as it is when you're doing activities on land. Watch this video to see how to breathe by side when swimming and improve your freestyle breathing technique. Nisha Millet, an Arjuna award winner, is here to teach you how to breathe by the side when swimming. So, keep watching.
The world's finest freestylers always have an incredible kick. Nisha Millet, the first female Indian swimmer to break the one-minute barrier in the 100m freestyle, is of the view that to swim fast you need to put in work on your legs.

I grew up watching Nisha mam in Olympics in doordarshan ! Today i became her student at 34 yrs because of decathlon and RUclips !! Thanks mam..

How?

[@chandrashekarh.m.3576]

@@bharathigowda487 because of her tips i stopped sinking and started swimming !

[@p.sseshan4168]

Rightly said ,breathing is the most difficult part which takes lot of practice , consistency and patience. Kicks and arms movement is faster to learn n adapt but breathing skill takes time since we are not use to breathing in n out of water so it doesn't come naturally to us. But as wise men say practice makes one perfect, keep practicing....

[@miyaanthony621]

Thank you. Really needed this.

[@LRyan-li9wr]

As a beginner, this is THE best video for learning how t o breathe while swimming! Thank you!

[@dineshmale]

agree

[@patfiddles]

Incorporating the "walk" stroke is a very helpful intermediary step before taking on a kickboard. Enables you to continue focusing on breathing before you move on to breathing with a kickboard.

[@brianking4907]

Thank you. The most straightforward explanation that I’ve seen on RUclips.

[@himanipandey2894]

True

[@ankajgarg8040]

Thanks, ma'am, for making this video. I started swim learning at the age of 36. I learnt floating, kicking and hand movement in 4 days. But unable to breath. 15 days passed, still unable to take side breath. When I take face out of water for breath leg sinks and I stop floating. As I open mouth for breath lot of water enters my mouth. I am struggling to take breath. I am unable to do all 3 task simultaneously - kicking, hand movement and breathing. Now I will try this in pool. Hopefully, I will be successful now.

[@voyger2561]

did it work?

[@ankajgarg8040]

@@voyger2561 yes, ma'am. It worked. But it took one month. After one month practice, Now I can swim without stop. I have learnt side breath. I am from Delhi. Here swimming pool are open April to September only. Now I will start practice again from April 2024. Thanks for your video.

Same broo , I can't do all things together , I am also facing difficulty while doing all things together

[@neovasant]

This is the best video of freestyle breathing. Precise and straight to the point. Beginner tip to look at the shoulder while turning worked for me. I might have watched countless videos on turning, breathing, etc.

[@jayeshgokhale]

thanks.. this is quite helpful..

[@michaelgebremedhin8743]

I have seen many professional videos which explain that when we move our head to the side, we have to keep half the eye inside and breath. The best separator is having the half of your swimming gaggles in the water when you turn on your third, fourth or second(fully up to you) breathing turn. Not the full head turn. Other than that, very good video, very practical illustration of walk and drill practice

[@I_am_a_Cunning_Linguist]

Beginners cannot do the head turn you explained. They will end up swallowing water and panicking, What she is saying is for beginner learners

[@himadreehimu4241]

Exactly, cuz the video is just for beginners

[@ChiliTomatoNoodle]

Always struggled with breathing in the front crawl and never learned it properly. Tried following the advice on RUclips of "keep one goggle lens in the water", but I think that technique requires good forward speed to get a bow wave going, precise head angle, and maybe some other stuff I'm not aware of. All I know is that the "one lens in" advice ends with me swallowing water.
Glad to find a video that for beginners that actually thinks about what a beginner needs to get started and iteratively improve their technique, not just showing the end product.
